He's in a 1 gallon cage currently and smells a little ripe. Lol



20 gallon aquarium at minimum. 20 gallon long would be better.

tbh, i would let a wild snake go back in the wild.

Jones is correct 20L aquarium with screen fitting top

get a reptile heating pad $13 that goes under the tank

reptile bowl for water (looks like a rock) $5

Aspen snake bedding $6 .. change bedding 1x every few months

piece of driftwood or cavern half-log positioned near heating pad to give snake cover $9

feed the snake live pinkies $3 each in a separate container , we use a large kritter keeper $9
- as the snake gets bigger you can feed him fuzzys or larger mice

all items can be purchased at Petco

feed snake once every 1-2 weeks... the more often you feed it, the bigger it will get

my son has a corn snake as I'm the one who takes care of it


not sure how a wild snake will adapt to captivity , as you can buy baby corn snakes for $40 at pet stores
