Hello, I'm Brad, 22 from Canada. I'm just looking for some info on corn snake care, as I'm considering getting one in a few months. Looking to learn a lot from teh forum.
 
yes, getting one. I don't want to buy a pet until I have all the housing and care info I need to properly care for it.
 
Oh, I see... well, I just bought a 25 gallon tank. is that big enough for one corn snake's entire lifespan? I thing 20 long or 30 is good... but will 25 do?

If the dimensions of the tank are 24"L X 12.5"D X 26"H (With Hood) like this one: Click here to see 25 gallon tank; then that size is probably not suitable for a corn's entire life. A 20 long with dimensions of 30"L x 12"D x 13"H is more suitable. The key to a suitable tank or vivarium size is not the capacity (gallons or litres for our metric friends ;) ), but rather the length and depth. A minimum of 30" long is much more suitable for a full grown corn. I house corns for the first year in a 5 gallon tank (same dimensions of a 10 gallon, just half the height) before moving them to a 20L or equivalent Iris container. Remember, corns by nature are not climbers, so the extra height is pretty much just wasted space. Hope this helps.
