Housing:You may not need a 20 gallon (75.7 L) enclosure at start, but eventually you will. The enclosure can be either a tank or vivarium. When the snake is small, it is ok to start your pet off in a smaller tank such as a Living World Faunarium or similar product. For a large snake, the vivarium should be around 30–50 inches (76.2–127.0 cm) long but there's not real limit on size, just make sure it's big enough. Heat:Provide a heat mat or heat lamp that covers about 1/3 of the tank to provide a proper heat gradient. The heat mat or lamp must be thermostatically controlled because they reach in excess of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) which will severely burn the snake. Position the heat mat or lamp over one side to get that gradient. Temperatures should be about 75-85 degrees F, 23-29 degrees C, with the higher temperature on the warm area of the tank at one side. Do NOT use heat rocks as these will burn your snake. Hides:You should provide some places for you snake to hide in to feel secure, place at least one hide on both the warm and cool side so your snake has a choice. Substrate:There are many, many different floor coverings commercially available for corn snakes Aspen Snake Bedding being a favorite of many reptile owners. Do NOT use Cedar or Pine shavings with a corn as these are toxic to them. Do not house two corn snakes together as they are a solitary species. Keeping two snakes together can increase their stress. Corn snakes in captivity (especially hatchlings) have been known on occasion to eat one another, with both snakes involved dying. The only exception is a breeding pair. If you wish to breed, check that your female is 300g, 3 feet (0.9 m) long and 3 years old (333 rule) and consult a good book. Do not cohabit your breeding pair until you know that they and you are ready. Inbreeding is best avoided. Snake droppings aren’t very big so cage cleaning doesn’t need to happen often. It will need to be cleaned about every 3 or so weeks but scoop out fresh excrement where possible
