Basics... Secure (preferably wooden) enclosure - that's big enough for the snake. It needs to be at least half the adult snake's length on its longest side. for a corn snake - that's 36 inches long x 12 inches deep x 18 inches high.
The vivarium should have a substrate that's relatively easy to clean - such as sterile bark chippings (available from any reptile shop). Don't try to crate your own by using tree branches from your neighbourhood - you don't know whether there's anything harmful living in the wood - or (more importantly) what's been sprayed on it !
You need a few small branches to provide something for the snake to climb on, so it can regulate its own body temperature (again available from a reptile shop).
Depending where you live - you may also need an artificial heat source to maintain the snake's natural temperature range. This should be placed towards one end of the vivarium - to provide a temperature 'gradient' - AND needs to be controlled by a thermostat.
Additionally - two 'hides' - one at each end ov the vivarium. Snakes are mostly secretive creatures and, while it's nice to be able to see them all the time - they need to be able to get away from people and feel more secure in a hide box. These can be made from ply wood - so long as they're large enough for the snake to fit inside comfortably.
