Hi, mine were just over 2ft when moved to 36'' viv's.
I provided mine with a route from one end to the other of plants and hides, this ran along the back of the viv.
This enabled the snakes to move around without becoming stressed of a new enviroment.
That was a couple of months ago now they spend most of their time looking out the glass.

I would put a divider in as it's a bit too big for her at the moment. Just make sure it's packed out with decor & hides to help her feel more secure. When small they can squeeze through the overlap in the glass, so best to use something to block it, folded cardboard or a paper binder works well  |

| Corno was under 2ft when I moved her up and she was fine - I didn't use a divider just as above, made sure there was a 'covered route' between the hot and cold sides so she would feel safe moving. |

| Oooh, that's exciting. Can't wait until Apollo is big enough to move out of his faun and into a proper viv. He's just hit 50cm though so a bit of a wait yet. |

| Corns are in general confident little scamps and do fine in whatever you put them in. Rubi will love it providing its got hidey holes and things to climb (and been a corn snake poop on). |
