20 gallon long should be fine.
climbing branch..good hide spot, some fake plants are ok.
they love to climb.
also watch out..they are super skilled escape artists and very strong.
make sure the lid is entirely secure.

here's one of my corns in her cage...she is about three feet long.
pretty simple setup..i made sure the climbing perch is under her light..makes a good warming spot.

nice pics, when the snake got around 4 ft big, would it be ok for the snake if you put it in a 32 gallon plastic tub?

yes it would be fine..if its long enough for them to stretch out.
i knew many a herper who kept theirs in plastic tubs..just have to make sure its well ventilated.

20 gal long is a good minimum size for adult corn snakes.

You need a heat source, preferably an under tank heater, regulated at 85 degrees with a thermostat or lamp dimmer. A digital thermometer with a probe. water dish , 2 small hides, one on cool and one on warm side. Newspaper or paper towel or aspen siubstrate.
