28qt Sterilite?

I feel somewhat bad about putting a 4 foot corn into a 28 quart sterilite.

I just need someone to tell me it's not cruel and she'll be nice and happy.
 
I'm pretty sure a 28 qt box has the same floor area as a 15 gal tank, which is Ok.
But I personally prefer a little more space than that.

All my corns are in glass aquaria.
I've got some 15 gal that are 24"x12"x12". These are fine for my sub adults.
I like the 20L better, they are 6" longer(30"). My kings are in those.
I just bought 2-55gal tanks yesterday, and think I'm gonna divide them and put the kings in them. Then I'll have 3 20L tanks for the corns.
See my thread called Dilemma in the misc corn snake discussion.
Although I'm going to have a real dilemma if I keep buying snakes, and try to keep them in aquariums.
 
I've got 12 snakes total now, and I cant even imagine trying to use glass aquariums. I'd be way out of space, but thanks to a rack and tubs I can have 12 snakes without a problem sitting on my dresser.
 
I wish I had a house to load snakes up in. I'm confined to my bedroom and bathroom in my apartment.
 
the snakes get more floor space with a 28 Qt. blanket box than the fish tanks that you shown and they are more organized easier to clean and are more energy efficient. With that many snakes make a rack, I see that you can work with wood by the nice stand that you built. By the way what a clean collection
that you keep. looks like you just set it up for the photo. it must take you a whole lot of time to clean them that well . Everthing looks brand new ! Nice job.LOL Vinny
 
Thanks Vin, It's really not that bad to keep clean.
I've been toying with the idea of going to a rack system and probably will by next season as I intend to give breeding a try.
Here's some pics of the rest of the house, That was just the corn snake room.
LOL

I don't even have a dresser!!!! :shrugs: :shrugs: Your lucky!!! LoL I am going to keep my babies till 2' 6"-3' in 15 qt. and the adults in 31 qt.
 
Looks great Mike, though you've dated yourself with the Jim Morrison poster, the lava lamp, and the "I Dream of Jeannie" lamp. :grin01: A fireplace in FL? That's a new one! LOL
