Might get a corn...

Velox_415 Sep 08, 2004 07:15 PM

I may or may not be getting a corn snake this spring, but I was just wondering if a 55 gal tank would be to large for an adult corn, even if there’s lots of cover and hide spots? I’d like also to have a type of naturalistic pond kinda thing with some guppies, so it would take up a fair amount of space itself.

Thnks for any opinions.

A 55 gal tank is definitely not too big. They love to climb and are active snakes, so it gives them room to explore.
