I'm thinking about giving my corn a new home. he's currently in a aquarium tank with a screened top. My basic choices are:

1. a larger, longer glass cage with a screen that slides up and down on the side.

2. a large (41 gallon) octagon glass aquarium with two mirrored sides. It's quite tall, perfect for a climbing snake.

3. A large 1950s TV set that I've cleared the innards out of and disinfected. I was going to put a screen door on back. It's still got the glass front (for viewing), but I think it's easier to see in than to see out (thus giving the snake more privacy, but allowing nosey humans to watch).

Any advice? I'd like to see the snake doing more so I can watch, but I want to make sure he's got enough privacy to not feel stressed. I don't know if the 41 gallon tank would be better because he can see more (presuming he's curious), or if it would just make him feel vulnerable. The TV would seem to offer more privacy and it's large enough for branches, multiple hide boxes and the such.

Whatta ya think?

Go with the largest enclosure largest floor and climbing space. If you feel the octagon is the biggest use that one the snake seeing out is fine worst case you can put black poster paper on a few glass sides but that wont be neeeded the snake wont care a bit.
Corns around here are out on trees,etc not secretive under wood,etc like milksnakes.

If you use the TV, which I think would be pretty creative, make sure that the stuff you cleaned it with will not harm the snake...you probably know that already. Does the TV have any jagged areas that can hurt him or gaps that he can escape from?
