I have yearlings in similar size vivs and they are doing fine, just make sure there are a couple of hides, I also have vine in mine as well. But looks a perfect size. :wink:

ah right cheers,

would that do him for ever, or would i need to get a bigger one anytime?

Mine are 36 x 18 x 18 Vivs and I currently house all my corns seperatley my biggest 5ft male to my yearlings all have same size vivs, all my hatchlings are in faunariums. Eventually I will have some same sex living in pairs thats why I went for the size of viv build. I would probably have something a little wider personally but thats me. I think it would be a good size and you shouldnt have to upgrade.

ok cheers, aye , i would like to get it a little wider aswell but im a bit limited for space and thats the only size they do it in that would fit.

Also one more question , will i need to get a bigger heatmat for that size viv, my mat just now is 5 inch wide 10inch long?

Looks fine for a yearling but may need something bigger eventually - depends how big it grows.

For this viv you could get a piece of melamine - say 18"x10" - and put a shelf in there. it'd increase the floor space by about 40% and encourage him to climb - probably giving him more excercise than he'd get in a slightly larger viv anyway.

You could get away with that heat mat - but 11x11 mat would be better - you'll definitely need a stat though if you don't already have one.
Don't forget to cover the mat with something (eg. a large tile) to lessen the possibility of burns. Also a good idea so seal up the terminal block with low-tack insulating tape or silicone sealant so that moisture can't get to the electrics.

ok thanks for the advice. Yeah i have a stat all ready.

How do you open the glass?

 

[markhill]

it says they are sliding glass doors,roughly the same size as corn viv,i might need a bigger one if the corn grows freakishly large

 

[Trice]

Cool. If you get it, tell me if it's any good. Still thinking of building one for mine, but not sure yet.

Viv

36 " is a too big for a yearling unless you provide plentr of hides

good luck with your snake

Aye, I'll have at least 4 hides, ive got 2 just now in the smaller tank, and im gettin 2 bigger ones tomorrow for the new tank.

I used to house all my adults in 36x15x15 without any problems.The only reason i changed it was i had so many corns that to keep them in vivs would have taken up the whole house let alone the one room i have.


That size viv would be ample room for a 6 foot corn and you could also put in an opposite sex for short periods of time for breeding perposes
