Cage size?

[Richard Holyoak]

I want to have 3 or four pairs of corns. What size of caging do breeders use? I believe you use shoe boxes for babies. Then what? My room is limited so must use space correctly but i do not want to make things to small.

Thanks
Richard

30 gl. should be sufficient for adults.

Thanks. Do people use rubbermaid's as cages?

I use something like rubbermaid. They're from reptile tubs, and have a locking lid and are plastic. I did put clips on the edges and corners since the youngsters like to camp up inside the lid edge. I was afraid of escapes I've attached a picture of mine.

MegF where did you get them? and about what was the cost and size of them??

if space is limited then you could try stacking cages or a rack system. Visionariums seem like good stacking vivs and can house an adult corn in one. Vision cages are also nice. If you want tanks then a 20 gallon long tank can hold a corn for its whole life but you may want to go with a bigger cage.

Technically a 20gL should house it its whole life, but personally you might want to go with a 30 if you have room. It gives you more of a chance to make it more attractive. But a 20gL should be fin, but i'm not sure what to do other than the rubber maid containers someone brought up earlier to save space and money.

www.reptiletubs.com I paid about $50 for three 30 gl. tubs with lids, and $36 for shipping because it was the farthest area from them. I drilled holes in them for air, and put clips on them that I got from Staples to make sure I'd have no escapees

I had racks made by Casey Hulse http://www.nsreptiles.com/ His prices were great, and he was very nice to do business with. Shipped right to my door. I used the 41Q tub set up for my corns. They are perfect for what I needed.
