In your post below you mention them being 12" long, which I take to mean hatchlings with just a bit of size on them. Cornsnakes at this size are decent escape artists so you'll want to do a good job or consider including the lids in the design.

Were you wanting a lidless rack or were you wanting to include the lids? I prefer lidless racks whenever possible but am not sure what I'd do with with 12" long cornsnakes.

I guess what I would do in your situation is build a temporary rack that allows you to keep the lids on the boxes. Don't use glue at this point and when the snakes are bigger take the rack apart and build it with tolerances that make it lidless.

In the meanting go to Google and search for FineGTPs and Shoebox Rack Construction. Both searches should yield good tutorials right at the top of the page.
