Enclosure

I was just wondering what a good sized cage is for an adult corn snake? I'm debating between a 20 long or a 40.

Thanks

The 20 long would be OK. If you have the resources for the 40, I think that would be great. Especially if you wind up with a fairly large adult. I keep my largest adult corn in a 50 gallon Sterilite tub. Most of my large ratsnakes are in 50 gallon tubs, with the younger ones in smaller enclosures. And I DO keep 2 female corns together in a 55 gallon, despite the fact that I always suggest (to beginners, since they are the ones who always ASK the question)that you should keep each snake in its own cage. I currently have 12 snakes in 11 cages. Duffy
