I currently have Nickademus ( Carolina corn) in a Faun about 40cm x 26cm and he is doing good, feeding every 5 days and shedding well. he is about 38cm long. what size should he be before i can put him in a 45 x 45 exo terra viv? is the rule of thumb that he should be the lenght and depth of the Faun? thanks.

im no expert on that one, as when i got my snakes as hatchlings they went straight into a viv 2ftx 1ft as per advise from reptile owner. not that i think advice was great. My snakes were ok ,aslong as your snake has hides and does not feel totally exposed i would put him in the viv. Thats just my opinion after getting my measuring tape out. as i say they dont have the choice of fauns etc good luck n keep us posted

You are right about the rule of thumb but i think it will be ok in a 45 * 45 viv as that is not too big. Just pack it out with plenty off hides and plants
