Does it have a screened lid, or something like that, for ventilation? Looks pretty good if it does :) You could put some gnarled branches and plants for your new corn to climb on. I bought hammocks for a couple of my snakes, and they seem to be enjoying them :)
 
ya has ventilation on the top like.. is it big enough for the corn to live its life in that size viv??
 
It's a nice looking tank and will work for a while but it looks like it is more tall then it is long. I would look for something longer. I'm not sure but I think if you get a baby corn snake it is better not to have such a large tank, but that is just my opinion.

So the tank is 5 feet long, by just over 3 feet deep and nearly 4 feet tall? If that's the case then your corn will be in luxury, but I must say the pictures are very deceiving, it doesn't look 5 foot long :shrugs:
 
For an adult corn, I think it would be great... My 20 gallon terrariums are like 30x12x12 and yours is a lot bigger than mine... My adult male is in one of my 20's and I think it would be nice for him to be in something bigger but he's ok... I do think maybe a 10 gallon tank would be better as a starter tank till your snake gets a little larger and then I'm sure your snake would love to move into that big terrarium... :)

In that case the tank won't do for it's whole life, it will probably be ok for the first year maybe two, depending on how quickly your corn grows, but it would be good to have one about 3 or maybe 4 foot long, as it gets to adult size. Bear in mind some corns grow to just over 5 feet, I know, I've got a big guy here just touching that length at 3 years old ;) (I keep my guy in a 4 foot by 18 inch deep tank)

Hope that's helped a bit :)

I agree with Susielea, it will due for a bit but you will need a bigger one. I stiil think it's better you start out with 20 gallon or so if your getting a hatchling. I have male adult male in a 40 gallon and he is starting to outgrow it.
