It looks like you've gained a heck of a lot of space. I reckon that I don't have to tell you that more space = more snakes. I like how you have an "in between" size that is bigger than a shoe box but smaller than a sweaterbox - I've found that size useful for subadult corns as well as smaller milks and hognose snakes.

Well I have 10 babies that I am raising up so i am going to need all the space i can....the medium is a 28qt bin and the large is a 41qt.

Do you think an adult corn is ok in the 28 qt? I housed one of my adults in there while i was building the racks and it seemed fine.

It really depends on the size of the snake. I use 32 quart sweaterboxes for my corns, which are 3 to 3-1/2 feet. Over the years I've had a few 4-footers that I would not keep in a box that small.

I generally like half the perimeter of the cage to be about the same as the length of the snake. Of course there's no harm in housing adult in bigger cages either.
