Answers:
cornsnakes will get to be 4-5 feet long after 3 years. The smallest tank that should be used is a 25 gallon. The snake will need heat from both a uv light and an undertank heater- make sure the underwater heater is placed below the tank and not inside to prevent burning. Research cornsnakes thoroughly before bringing one home. Make sure you understand all about respiratory infections, what to feed (frozen mice preferably), how often to feed and at what temperature to keep their tank. (You will need to buy a temp. gauge from the pet store) Good luck
Yes, corn snakes requre full spectrum uva/uvb light.
Your fish heater will not work for your snake. You need a heater on the outside of the tank, one on the inside will burn your snake.
Use an under tank heater or a clamp lamp with a red or blue colored bulb in it for heat. Keep the heat on one side of the tank so the snake can move between warmer and cooler temperatues.
You can use newspaper to line the bottom of the cage.
You will need a water dish big enough for the snake to sit in.
A rock to help with shedding
A hidding spot
A small branch for climbing.
A tight fitting screen lid. Snakes are good at escaping.
