Two hides would be fine, as well as any size of water dish. They can do fine on newspaper, but I think they prefer aspen shavings, as they do like to burrow. A 10 gallon tank should be fine for the first couple of years, but you will ultimately need a 20 gallon long size for an adult. Make sure you get something with a very secure lid. Dogs can actually be helpful if your corn snake escapes. Ours has been. She will bark and alert us when she locates an escaped corn and has never tried to harm one.... so far. Cats will just kill them silently, though.Originally Posted by Trey Yeoman
Thank you both!!!I will indeed look into it... I am really into axanthic morphs... and lavender... but yar... the only real "problem" would be their squirmy ness... and my friend says that her corns always get into her bags and pockets and things like that... to clarify on the squirminess it would be like... i have dogs... and with my queen elizabeth... she weighs 2.8 pounds... and its about 4 feet... so i can hold her and not worry about her "scurrying away" (even though she can be fast when she wants 2)... but if the little guy got away from me.. he could be lost in my room forever... and i have dogs... which would pose a threat... obviously... they are jack russels... so... hmmm.... the afford ability and low maintinence makes me lean towards a corn instead of another ball... i have a 10 gallon tank... with two hides... a water bowl... and i use newspaper as substrate... i would have to get shavings for a corn... and downsize the water bowl... and take away a hide...? or would having two hides be "okay" but not "needed"?
