what do you think of this enclosure for a corn?

Looks to me to be a waste of money. You can keep a Corn in a 20gal L, but a 40 L would be better. Even then, a normal tank or a DIY enclosure would be WAY cheaper than that cage. Those things are EXPENSIVE.

For a Corn? I recommend you get rid of the overhead heat sources. Corns need one hot, and one cool side. Instead put an under tank heater on one side of the tank and allow the other to be cooler so they can thermoregulate.

Put a hide on each end of the tank - one hot, and one cool. And its hard to tell from the pic, but what substrate is that? Get something the corns can burrow into, like aspen chips, no pine or sand.

If you want a larger cage than the standard 20L (30x12), between a 30-55 g tank would be plenty (and cheaper). I would also look at the premade plastic cages they have out there, they are a lot lighter and easier to clean than glass aquariums. (Believe me, cleaning a 55g fishtank is a pain, I can't imagine what it would take to clean the one pictured!)

Let me clear up a few things. First, I'm going to build the cage, not buy it. Thats just where I got the idea from. I would use only one overhead lamp. I'm going to use Repti-Bark for substrate. Also. I currently only own 1 corn and am going to get another thats about it.
