is to get a TOTALLY escape proof cage! These snakes are the master escape artists, so if there is ANY way at all to squeeze out, they will.

I agree with the previous poster on his recommendations, but would like to add a few more.

I would also recommend getting either a temperature gun or a digital thermometer. Remember to measure the temps on the bottom of the tank, right over top of the heat pad and also on the cool side. If you use heat lamps to heat the tank, make sure that you give your snake a day/night cycle. Having a white heat lamp shining in your face 24/7 is a big stressor.

Your hide boxes should be small enough for the corn snake to feel secure.

Be forewarned: cornsnakes are very addicting, once you get one, you'll need another, then another.....
