What is a good size tub for an adult corn

reptileking90 May 23, 2005 09:09 AM

I was wondering what an appropriate size tub would be for an adult corn and a breeding pair. I don't want a tub that is really small for my corns. I would like them to be able to stretch a little.

Thanks Derek

I personally like the rule of thumb that says: Minimum of half the length of the snake. I have some 50 gallon Sterilite tubs that I picked up at Super Wal*Mart for 10 bucks each. They don't always seem to have them (only seen them twice in the past couple of years), but every time I see 'em I get a few. My larger ratsnakes (corns included) have plenty of room to stretch out.

Some folks will, of course, go much smaller. But I could tell from your post that you're shooting for "roomy" . Duffy

I don't think they make the rubbermaid 28 qt anymore?....

32 qt is higher and about the sme floor

..........anything 2 foot x 18 inches about is good.....
