Thinking of getting a cornsnake

Thanks everyone for the information! It's really helpful:). I would like to keep him in the 20 as long as possible, but im sure I could find a way to fit another 40 gallon if needed, or I will try to find a 30 gallon. Does gender play a role in the average length (like BPs)? And pics of setups would be cool if you want to share them (don't have to if you don't want to).

My corn eats small rats. Mainly because he would eat multipule mice and i buy rats for all my other snakes so it makes sense for me to just feed him what everyone else dose.

I have met the Love's and had lunch with them at their home. Wonderful people and oh my what a collection they have....or i should say had as they were preparing for retirement when i spent the day with them.

And so it has begun....next step, animal hoarders! Lol

She's very pretty! I love corn snakes for their colours and patterns (as shown here)!

Yep. New show coming soon to *insert channel here* featuring most people on this site:rofl::D:P

I personally don't have a corn snake but I have a king snake I keep in a 20 gal. Long tank and she does just fine. There are a lot of cool looking king snakes out there if you're looking for cool morphs for a good price. I have an albino prairie KS and she looks really nice even as she ages. I breed rats for my ball pythons so I feed my king rat fuzzies every 7 days. But when I 1st got her I had to get pinkie mice because the rats were too big.

Here's my other corn. This is him when I first got him. Now he has shed a couple times and is much more orange. He's an extreme okeetee by South Mountain Reptiles
