Ok, thanks Robbie!

Anytime!

A 20 long is 30" X 12". As many of my breeders as not would cover half the footprint. Maybe for a typical smallish lavender or Miami a 20L would be adequate.

I believe 20L is recommended as the minimum for an adult...

Weird. 32 quart, and 64 quart sterilites are the exact same floor space as the 20 longs. I know that some members here use those tub sizes for their adults. I have Shivers who is almost five feet in a 32 quart for now, just waiting on a 20 gallon to get here.

A gallon is 3.5 liter as far as I know, which is 3.5 spaces of 10 x 10 cm. Working with that I calculated that my co-habbing vivs are 162 liter (9 x 6 x 3 of those 10 x 10 spaces) is just over 46 gallon. Did anyone realize that is more than twice the recommended minimum size you are talking about? Just checking...My solo vivs are just over 30 gallon by the way.

Google Target Wine Cube. The wine, BTW, is decent. I drink it all the time! About $17 for 3L, the equivalent of four bottles.

I don't like wine, but I like the box as a hide!

I swear I'm not trying to argue with you, but to even say one tank size fits all for an adult snake that can vary in weight by 100% is playing it too loose for my liking. A 32qt is fine for a small corn, the Sterilites I put big corns in are 106 qt/100 liter (34" X20"), and my racks are 33.5" X 17.5. And those don't seem especially roomy to me. I have 40 20L's in my shop, lest anyone think I'm confused as to the tank size. It's my only day off and I'm tempted to bring a big corn to work just to put in a 20L and photograph! If one of my larger corns in a 20L doesn't make the tank seem WAY too small, we simply have a different belief in how much room they need.

I find the floor space in a 20L really limiting. It would be hard to get a lay box into one! At least the type I use, 9" delis. Krinkle is in a 20L, though. But he's only 26 grams.
