large tank

2 Just Isnt Enough
is ok for a baby corn to be in a tank thats 32in long 25in deep and 28in tall...my con is 15.5 in long...will he be ok in it or can it stress him out to much
 
Just make sure you have allot of plants and vines and things along that line, so the tank doesn't feel so open spaced.
 
The general rule of thumb is to give Corns that are under 18 inches in length a more confined living space. But like K'Bear said, as long as you give plenty of hides, plants and cover in general it might make it easier for him to adjust. I'd also put the water dish in one of the corners or on the side of the tank. Since hatchlings explore the edges first, and rarely venture out into the open space, this makes sure that they can find their water.

Also, if you don't already use it, I'd recommend using aspen as a substrate. It's absorbant, cheap, looks nice and can hold its substance really well, which allows Corns to burrow and make tunnels. They love doing this and using aspen can greatly reduce stress. However, if you do use aspen, I'd feed outside the tank in a seperate box; to prevent the ingestion of substrate. :)

I hope that helps!

Is he already in it? How does he behave? I have my tiniest baby in a 20L- which seems huge for her, but she is all over it all the time, obviously very comfortable. She has vines on all the walls that she uses for traveling, but often she'll just lay out in plain sight at the front. She's a bloodred- I guess she thinks she's tough! (I'd rather have put her in a ten- but had an empty 20L).
