    Cage options?

    So I am amidst a cross-country move from AZ to MI and did not have room for the pvc cage ive been keeping my okeetee corn in so i threw it out (literally last minute decision)

    Where/what do you recommend getting? This pvc one was given to me so im not sure where it was from. It was good although a little hard to clean. Hes fully grown.

    I've raised and maintained many corns in 20 gallon long vivs with screen tops. Easy to obtain, though a bit heavy. Just make sure the screen lid locks.

    Like just normal glass vivs you can get at a pet store?

    I think tanks, tubs or pvc would work for a corn. I like to see and display my critters so they're in tanks and pvc enclosures.

    Same here. My full grown corn fits just fine in his 20 gallon. To answer your question if you go on Amazon there are a few 20 gallons to choose from. Not sure about the pet store thing make sure the viv is for reptiles.

    Sounds like you got everything. My corn likes some branches in his viv but that is just optional. I personally cover one side of my corns cage because it gets a ton of sunlight in the afternoon and gets pretty hot over there without a cover. So it depends if the cages gets a lot of sun

    He previously had a terracotta pot and a cavelike hide from a pet store as his two hides. I threw both out. Should i get hom two identical hides this time?
