hey, ive bin cleaning out my attic and come across this old glass tank, ive seen cornsnakes in smaller tanks than this in shops and on the net, if a got a top for it and a small heat mat would it be appropriate for a corn and if so for how long.
cheers.

Take into consideration that some shops do keep livestock in cramped conditions...

Whats the dimensions?

looking at it, the depth being wot look slike no more than 2 phones in depth, id say a hatchling, but as soon as it starts to get any kind of size about it that tank would be way too small, im not a snake person really, but im going by wot id do for the geckos, i wouldnt have no larger than a hatchling in there.

Personally I'm not a fan of fish tanks for snakes, no cross flow ventalation, usless at maintaining heat, all glass so can make some snakes feel unsecure, unless you cover them and a pain to make the lids escape proof.

That's my tuppence anyway.
