Thinking bout a corn snake.....

[Barracuda37]

Hey i was just thinking bout getting a corn snake not sure yet but some questions?
What size tank?
How long do they live?
How much is like all the lighting and everything cost?

Well, you don't necessarily need any lighting. Bedding, heat pad, 20 gal tank w/top... probably around $40-$50 total depending on the store. Corn snakes are easy, just do a google search and I'm sure its all out there.

I suggest a 40 breeder for it's long term home, though something smaller will be fine for the first year or two...

Cornsnakes do not require UVB lighting, so any form of light will be fine...

Cornsnakes come from moberate temperature zones so while some heat may be needed, it won't be much and it won't need to be on 24/7... A heat pad or CHE (Ceramic Heat Emitter) being on for 3~12 hours a day (varies by season) is plenty, in their native environments temperatures naturally drop overnight.
