    ... I have gone to the library and researched the corn snake so much that I dream about them.

    Some of the information I have gathered is conflicting.
    I have also found that references to SIZE of the tank is very hard to find (length of cage). I will be purchasing corn snake(hatchling or juvenile) as a birthday present to myself, but before that I want to purchase ALL THE APPROPIATE EQUIPMENT-
    ~~~~~~currently I have small housing for the hatcling, then a 10 gallon for when it reaches juvenile stage.

    I need to know what size of tank(length) is the best for a grown corn snake?????? :?:
    SO I am very hopeful that someone can help me.......

    A 10 Gallon will be a good tank for a corn snake until they're about 24-30 inches long. After this point, a 20 long should be fine right until adulthood.

    I keep my adults in 20 gallon rubbermaids, and breeding pairs in 30 gallons, with several hiding spots.
