tank size

My blizzard corn is a year and a half to two years old, and is about 36 in. long I currently have a 10 gal. What size should I upgrade to? And corns are climbers so shold I get a tall or wide tank?

Thanks for the help!
 
There are some awesome threads and stories about cornsnakes' climbing abilities, but they aren't arboreal. I would suggest a long tank and maybe a few climbable furnishings. Most long-time owners and experts recommend at least a 20 gal. tank for an adult. Several here have larger vivs, but I believe that's as much personal preference as anything.

If I'm totally off-base, someone will correct me (gently, I hope).
 
ive heard 20 too. they come both long and tall, and i would probably get the long. just stick some treated drift wood in there or a plastic furnishing and they can climb around on that if they want. im still a newbie, but from what ive learned, i think they are much more comfortable curled up under a rock than entangled in some branches
 
A 20 gallon long is said to be the minimum size to house an adult corn in, but you can always go bigger.

For climbing, I've bought these cheap bend-a-branch things from petsmart and have them criss-crossing a few different directions and my corn loves to climb on them. Although, I think she's only trying to find a way out :rolleyes: Times when I come back after being away for 1-2 full days I usually find her sleeping on her branches rather than in her hides. Just some thoughts.

i guess the branches always give them an option to get closer to the heat lamp too..... just a though

I don't use heat lamps, so that's not the case with this snake (but maybe for some people, though).
