    I just wanted to know how long a baby corn snake could stay in a 10 gallon cage. I want to get a corn snake and am considering getting an adult or sub-adult so that I only have to get one cage. Thank you for reading and/or replying.

    a 10 gallon should be good for at least a year...a 29 gallon long would be big enough for all but the largest of adults JMHO...

    db, it depends, some adult corns (not many) can top out at 5' or more...I have a male who's 4'6", and that 20 gal. long would be a bit too small for him...
