I use a 36x12 Barrs cage for my largest Corn, an 02 butter at around 44 inchs,or he may even be larger. Most of my other corns are in a 24x12 Barrs cages. They may or may not stay in a 24x12, depending on how large they get. I'm sure I will move my 03 Okeetee into a 36x12 next year at the rate he's growing.

I use Barrs cages for my geckos and was planning to order some for my corns, but I anticipated that all of them would need their own 36x12 cages when full grown.

for the adult snakes. The rule of thumb that I have heard is to add the length of the cage to the width of the cage and this should equal or be longer than the total length of your snake. So if you have a 3 foot long snake, the 24X12 cage is fine.

Thanks for the reply! I guess bigger is better, so I may just end up going with the larger ones too.

I house my largest corn snake in a 55 gallon aquarium. He is about 3-3.5 feet long. I house my other corn snake about 1 foot long in a 20 gallon long aquqrium.
