How do you set up a corn snake viv?
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.
Are orbeez an ok thing to put in a corn snakes cage?
No - it's not something that the snake would come into contact with naturally !
How old is a 12foot rattle snake with 22 buttons?
Impossible to answer accurately. The segments (or 'buttons') of a rattle-snake's tail only indicate the number of times the snake has shed - not the number of years it's been alive.
And, rattlesnakes do not grow 12 feet long. The largest species, the eastern diamondback, has a maximum potential length of eight feet, which is the record for this snake.

Nagini, is a long, green female snake belonging to Lord Voldemort, with whom she had a special bond. She also became a Horcrux, after her master killed Bertha Jorkins. After Voldemort's initial downfall, he uses Nagini's venom as one of the ingredients for a potion in order to regain strength, which eventually leads to his rebirth. In "The order of the Phoenix" she attacks Arthur Weasley, but he manages to survive. During the Second Wizarding War, she has to be destroyed in order for Voldemort to be finally defeated.

Can snakes live in your stomach if incase they get in through water?
The snake would be digested if it remained in your stomach. It might survive if it were regurgitated within a few minutes. That is something you ought to cross off your worry list. Even the smallest baby snake would be quite noticeable and you would not be likely to accidentally swallow it.
MOST snakes live in a territory that supports their lifestyle. IE, sources of food and protection. They do not stay in one place usually, and shed their skins when they grow too large for the skin they are in, faster, if they have plenty of rodents and small animals to eat, slower if there is a shortage of food.
When you say, one place, do you mean a small area? I watched the habits of one 6 1/2 ft. diamondback come out from under my shed that had mice living in it, for several days; She basked in the sun in the same place to digest her food every day around 4 pm. Then one day I was able to shoot her and a head raised up and looked at me and I shot him! It turned out that they were mating and when I went about 100 feet further, there was another 6 1/2 ft. male by my house steps! What a dangerous group to have around my dogs and horses! I call it 'my 12 foot rattler story.'
