a large exo terra faun is a good size for a hatchling, although you can use a RUB (really useful box) or a small glass viv, other members on here can give you other options although mine are in a exo terra faun each

2) How long can you handle a corn for out of the vivariium? Could you sit and watch t.v whilst handling for example? Do they like being out of the vivarium?
when they are young its best to start off with around 5mins maybe 4-5 times a week, and then slowly increasing it over time just so that they get used to you gradually, a good way to help them get used to you aswell without the stresses of them being handled is to put a small item of clothing eg a sock or glove with your smell on in the viv/faun with them

3) What is the best method of feeding? I know alot of articles say dont feed in the vivarium? Do you put the corn into a bucket to feed? And what about putting it back into the viv after feeding as i know you sholdnt hadnle for 48 hrs after feeding?
you can feed in or out of the viv, its up to you, i personally feed them outside on a lid or something similar so that i know they havent ingested any substrate, i then lift them either on the lid still or gently with my hands back into the viv/faun, small handling to move back to their housing is fine, as long as its quick and not stressful the snake should be fine, you can feed inside the viv/faun but if you do make sure you put something down (kitchen towel is good) to stop them from ingesting any substrate

Hope these arent silly questions, just things that ive got on my mind and care sheets havent answered,
no they are not silly - they are important things you should be asking about
