Its more about the floor space and the size of the snakes - a 55 gallon might be big enough for 2 smallish adult corn snakes. Or it might be cramped for two large adults.



There's a lot of factors to consider - Do you plan on feeding in separate cages or together? Do you have one animal that is strongly dominant and might bully its cage mate? What mix of sexes are you planning on? Do you plan on breeding?



At a minimum, there should be enough hides for each animal to feel secure and be able to thermoregulate without being crowded.



Personally, I like to maintain individual enclosures - its just less hassel.
