Is a bit big but if you do use it, as Punkasf says fill it with plenty of hides,logs and plants. Also get some silk or plastic ivy and hang it from the ceiling this will make it seem lower and smaller.

I'd say that was ok for a 5' 6" corn. Its probably hitting max size but they do need room to stretch. I know younger smaller snakes can get stressed if the viv is too big. But again if theres plenty of good hiding spaces things should be ok.
I know all our snakes are captive bred but they did originally come from the big outdoors and had to deal with it!
If you find the snake stressing then alter the surroundings accordingly. Snakes are like people they are all individual and some are more inclined to stress than others.
