>>Would that be suitable for an adult normal/charcole/otekee corn?
>>
>>and is UTH nessisary? can i just use a ceramic heat lamp instead since i have alot of those (like 12) in my house ( all unused)
>>
>>also i know a UVA/B Bulb aint neccissary but can i have one just so theres some light in the aquarium? thanx


That size tank is easily big enough for an adult corn.
I have a 55 gallon tank (same length just not as tall or as wide) that i separated down the middle to make two habitats.
Works quite well.
There is no need to use UVA/B bulbs unless you just happen to have some on hand. Normal light bulbs are sufficient.
UTH is probably preferable but not absolutely neccessary.
You might want to add a a couple of rocks under the light to help hold the warmth if the snake needs to thermoregulate.
