  1. Five gallons
  2. 20 to 30 gallons ✔
  3. At least 100 gallons

Why: BGSU lists a 20 to 30 gallon aquarium in its corn snake care summary. A secure lid, hide, and soaking bowl still need to fit inside.

Huh, didn't know that: The same guide lists adult corn snakes at about 2.5 to 5 feet long.

The dad joke
Why did the corn snake redecorate? It wanted more hiss-toric charm.
