viv to big?

wrong way
is it possible to put a baby corn in to big of a viv? i have a 20 gallon sitting around that i havent done anything with yet. its not a long its a 20 tall so it wont be able to stay in it as an adult. but i know that a lot of young reptiles dont like too much space because they might be afraid and not feel secure. do you think it would be fine with enough foliage and hides and proper temps? thanks for any advice. im new to snakes.
 
As long as there are a bunch of hides I'm guessing it should be okay. I have a 5 month old I'm moving to a 20 gallon tank soon and I'm going to make sure there are lots of stuff in there for him to explore :)
 
another thing is i have beardies in my room too. do you think that it would be wary of being able to see the dragons running around their habitats?
 
Same advice as above, really. As long as there are enough hides/foliage/ground cover in the tank, your Corn will be able to duck out of sight if it gets spooked. In my experience, being in a room with other herps - even other animals like cats and dogs - doesn't faze them for long once they get used to the additional movement.
 
Considering that these animals have lived outdoors successfully for millions of years, there's really no such thing as "too large an enclosure." It may be harder to heat properly, the animal may not find food as easily, and you can't see sheds/defecation's/etc. as easily, and cleaning may be more trouble than it should be; but if you can get the proper temps and hides, no reason the snake wont be fine. Little ones may not use all that territory, though.
 
well i put all my beardies in 40 gallons when theyre hatchlings and i find all there feces and sheds easy enough. and im not worried about it finding food as i will feed it in a feeding tub rather than on substrate since ive seen impactions in peoples beardies from bad husbandry. i am just trying to figure out as much as i can before i get it so i can properly take care of it with no problems and so i know as much as possible. i like to make sure all my animals are treated better than me in most cases.
 
FWIW, I've worked with beardies for a long time. Before I knew any better, I raised EVERY clutch on Calci-Sand. Guess how many impactions I've had after some 200 to 500 beardies?
 
probably none or in the single digits. you still probably were a good owner. im sayin i see bad owners with bad husbandry. thats why im asking questions and making myself look dumb. haha. sorry if i came off as an ass. i didnt mean it like that.
