10 gallon - single male Kenyan or Rough Scaled Sand Boa. Single Rubber Boa

15 gallon - 2 male Kenyan or Rough Scaled Sand Boas. Single female Kenyan or Rough Scaled Sand Boa.

20 gallon - breeding pair of the sand boas.

A corn would be fine in a 20 long.

I thought that most 15's were the same as 10's, just higher... unless there are 15 longs.

The 15 gallon highs are the same as the 10 gallon - just higher, but a regular 15 gallon is 2 inches deeper than a 10 gallon.

My 15 g is 24x12.5 while my 10 g tanks are 20x10 as stated... I don't keep reptiles in these, however. I keep fish in em. =)

Ringnecks if supplied with a burrowing medium and alot of hiding spaces. Green Snakes if they have branches/etc. to climb on. Brown Snakes in some areas rarely get over a foot. Redbelly Snakes.

It should. I'm not sure, I've never had one.

I think a male would. A female, not her whole life.

Western Hognose don't get that big. An average Western Hognose gets 18-20 inches and RARELY exceeds 24 inches. SInce a ten gallon tank is 20X10, they could live their whole life in a ten gallon tank.
