I have been looking into corn snakes and I was told by a breeder that they do fine in a shorter tank, the length of a 20 gallon long. But I was wondering if they like to climb at all? I know that some reptiles like to even though I have been told they don't like leopard gecko who loves to lay on her hamock. Also my other question is has anyone used coconut husk products like these: http://www.creaturetravelers.com/ ? When I lived in phoenix we went to a reptile show in which the guy was selling it. Just wanted to know anyones thoughts.

I'm fairly new to all this, but from what I've read and heard corns don't need to climb. However, my '04's favorite spot is up in the fake tree in her cage. She really seems to enjoy it. 
I don't know anything about the substrate you mention- I use aspen and have been happy with it.
Enjoy!

*nods to Slither* Yes, semi-arboreal. Mine think they're part monkey...but I keep telling them that's an impossible hybrid.
I use compressed coconut fiber mixed with self-composting soil in my planting cages, but that website offers it in pellets and chunks of husk. (Prerinsed for dust and particles, which looks good.) Which format are you considering? I can only find a closeup of the pellets, but those look safe.

Thanks everyone! I am going to tell my husband that. He was worrying about getting a 20 gallon that was short to house the snake in when it gets big enough, so I guess we will see if the place has a normal 20 gallon long , which will mean we will have two of them, the one we have houses our leopard gecko. And I think my husband was looking into the soft pellets. We might get a bag and try it out on our leopard gecko. Thanks again. Right now we have aspen for the small little one my husband will be picking up on sat at a herp meeting.
