Question about 2 Year Old 2 Foot Corn Snake

Hello everyone,

I have had my amelanistic cornsnake for almost 2 years now. I have been told he is a bit undersized at around 26 inches because I didn't upgrade him to fuzzies (he's happily devouring fuzzies now).

Now I am questioning when I should upgrade his terrarium and if I should go straight to 20 Gallon or go to 15 Gallon?

Thanks in advance can't wait to talk to some fellow owners!

Bonus Question: Does anyone know of a company that does custom hides? Looking to get my cornsnake a New Orleans Superdome replica hide.

Thanks again,

Austin
 
You can change him to any size viv you'd like. Just make sure it's secure! I always recommend the kind with the sliding locking lid.

He is small. My babies that will be two in the summer are eating small weanlings. But it's okay, he can catch up. Look on here for a thing called the Munson Plan, and going by the snake's weight, just follow the chart to know when to move him up to the next size. People will say the Munson Plan is a little aggressive, and you can always wait till he's another 5 grams over what the chart calls for, before switching, and you can start with the smallest mouse in the recommended size.

Another thing you can do to help him digest better, and thus grow faster, is slit his prey. This means taking a small scissors and cutting crosswise slits through the mouse's skull and back, just through the skull and skin. I do this until the snake is on adult mice.
 
slitting the prey allows your snake's stomach acid to enter the body cavity of the prey faster, allowing digestion to begin faster. skin acts as a slight barrier.
