For those interested to have their first pet reptile, corn snakes are one of the best starter pets. They are low maintenance and have a very agreeable temperament. Corn snakes can live, in confinement for 23 years as long as proper living conditions are provided apart from nutrition. So if decide to have a pet corn snake, make sure that you are fully committed to meeting its needs for its entire lifetime.
A 15-gallon tank can easily and comfortably house a 2-feet long corn snake. Just don't forget that for all reptiles, especially snakes, a robust and escape-proof lock mechanism is necessary. Another thing that's necessary for reptile cages, is a temperature gradient for thermoregulation: a basking area or a warm spot (85-90 degrees) at one end and a cooler spot (roughly 75 degrees) on the other end. It's best to consult your veterinarian Pasadena, MD for your pet's proper handling and any health concerns.
