I am in the process of having to buy a new home for my 2' Ball Python, and am going with a 40 gallon long tank. I currently have my corn snake and my ball python in their own 20 gallon long tank on one stand. I would like to keep this kind of setup with both tanks on one stand. but when I get my new 40 gallon, it will not fit in the 20 Gallon stand. My question is would a 40 gallon tank be too big for a 2' Corn snake? When does the "too big" of an enclosure begin to stress them? I would like to out him in a 40, but don't want to stress him out with all the new room. Any comments and info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Da Wolf
 
Greetings,

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here but don't Corns snakes live in the great open space of the wild without suffering too badly. ;)

I think as long as you provide a nice environment with a heat gradient, proper ventilation, maybe a stick or two and a few hides stretched across the tank, then your snake shouldn't get stressed anymore than it would in a smaller tank.


Cheers,
Jason

You can also use paper or cardboard to obscure the back and sides of the tank. This reduces the amount of outside movement that the snake is able to perceive, increasing its sense of security.
 
I agree

I have a few different set-ups! One is in a large 40 gallon tank spread out with two corns doing nicely. They are growing and eating and have never shown any problems regarding being in a large set-up together.
