Corns can do fine in a 20-gallon or sweaterbox, without becoming overweight. The reason why captive corns get fat is due to a variety of factors:
1) Not having to escape from predators.
2) Not having to hunt for food.
3) Being fed laboratory mice raised on a complete diet.
4) Lack of internal parasites.
5) A constant, readily available supply of food.
6) A constant availability of preferred temperature.
There's far more to it than cage size. A corn can get fat in a 100-gallon enclosure for all the above reasons.
