hi i really want a corn snake and need to know how big do the usually get what siza of tank do they need when they are adults and what stuff do i need in the tank for him?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Q: hi i really want a corn snake and need to know how big do the usually get

A:They get four to six feet with five feet being a pretty good average.

Q:what size of tank do they need when they are adults

Aeople use a wide variety of habitat types and sizes but a twenty to thirty gallon tank will house an adult corn.

Q:and what stuff do i need in the tank for him?

A: You need a substrate. People use everything from news paper to paper towels to more natural substrates. It can depend on what kind of tank you plan to set up. If you want a display tank I would recommend something like aspen shavings or repti bark. These give a more natural look. I personally use aspen shavings. They are easy to spot clean, they are not dusty, they are cheap and the snakes like to burrow in them.
You need some form of under tank heat source. They make under tank heaters that adhere to the bottom of the tank. You can use heat tape and you can even use a normal heat pad placed under one end of the tank.
You will need two hides. One for the warm side of the tank (over the heat source) and one for the cool side. They make water bowls that have holes in the side which make excellent hides. (for the cool side).
If you use an aquarium you will need a screen top with clips to prevent escape. Or you can custom make your own top. just make sure there is ventilation and it is escape proof.
Corns are escape artists.

beyond the basics of water, hides and undertank heat the options are only limited to your imagination.

Bill & Kathy Love's book "The Corn Snake Manuel" will tell you alot about the corn snake. It's a wonderful book.
I have my 2 corns set up in 20 gallon long tanks. With under the tank heaters on one side and a incandecent light, on the same side. This is their warm side. You want a warm side and a cooler side.
My temps are usually in the 80-82 in day time and in the 70's at night. I have the lights on timer so they can have a natural day/night cycle.
I have read that adult corns should be ok in a 20 gallon long tank their entire life. But if you get a baby, they like something small at first. I started mine out in a 10 gallon.
You want a hide box or something they can hide in on both sides so they can chose which side they feel comfortable. Also a water bowl. My corn's love paper towel roll to hide in.
I use a piece of that green carpet stuff (I can't think of the proper name right now) over the UTH so they dont' burn themselves and then I have reptile bark for the whole cage.
This set up has worked for my corns. Both are yearlings now. I handle them often and have never had a problem with them striking or biting. They eat well and are wonderful pets.
Enjoy your future addition!!
