They usually grow to between 4-5ft, but can get up to 6ft or so max.

I've never met a nasty one, although some hatchlings can be bit nippy at first.

A 4-5ft corn would need a 36x18x18 viv, with temps of roughly 85f warm end and 75f cool end, and would need to be fed a decent sized mouse about once a week.

Hatchlings are best started off in a tub/faunarium on a heat mat, and would eat a pinky or two every 5 days or so.

Hi, good choice if you don't like getting bitten, Corns are generally very calm.

An adult will average 4 - 5 feet, and will need a 3ft viv. Mines in a 36x12x15 (LWH) glass aquarium, which works, but a proper viv would be better.

If you are getting a hatchling, an 18" flat exo-terra or contico will last for at least a year, until they are about 2ft, when you can upgrade.

You'll also need:
2 hides
water bowl
Beech chips
Heat source - heat pad works best for a plastic tub, ceramic for a viv
Thermostat - mat stat OK for a mat, but go for a pulse proportional if you can afford, you'll need it for the ceramic later on.
Digital thermometer
A bag of pinkies

Add a branch when you get a viv.

Temp - 23 - 30c with a 32c hotspot.

And off you go! Plenty of caresheets around on the web. Have fun!
