Some corns get pretty sizeable (four plus feet)and may like the extra space a ball python rack box size would afford. Most can be kept in a 10 to 20 gallon tank. Hot end around mid-80s and cool end around mid-70s. I keep mine in my herp room at a constant 80-83 degrees. They may even do well at room temps, but a bit of heat at the back never hurts. The 28 quart size rubbermaid or sterlite boxes work the best and you could get by without a rack by stacking the boxes and putting weight on top the topmost box. The lids are inadequate by themselves to keep the corns in if not secured.
If you want a pair of corns that produce butters, you can go with an amel het caramel, and a caramel het. amel. That would give you two visually different animals with the right het. combo to produce butters when paired together down the road. If temporarily housing babies, the 8 ounce deli cups work shortterm, or any small disposable tupperware type container. Just use small pvc caps for water bowls, or small souffle cups. I have 60 plus baby corns housed in deli cups right now. The keepers will go into a baby rack, but hopefully all the others will be sold and long term housing wont be required.
