Help! Custom viv size advice?

Hi!

I have two female yearlings. Both living separately. One is almost 2 feet and the other is a foot long.

I am aware that two corn snake should not be kept together, so I am looking into making a custom viv with an opaque glass divider in the middle which I would place in my dining room unit. The space that I am thinking of placing it in allows for 145cm Long, which means, if divided by two would be 72.5cm Long for each snake. Knowing that a 20gallon is 76cm...do you guys think 72.5cm is such a bad thing? Should I forget about this project completely, or do you think it should suffice? I heard 20 Gallon is minimum but can go up to 40...Is 40 necessary? I know bigger might be better but do you think closer to 20 gallons is enough?

So, following the 20gallon dimensions,
I am thinking 145L x 45D x 35H all together.
Which would mean with the divider, 72.5L x 45D x 35H for each snake

Your help is appreciated. It's a bit urgent!!

Thanks,

Kat
 
That is more room than most adults get in the standard rack tub. If they have sufficient hide space and temperature gradation, they should be ok. More space is usually better, but corn snakes aren't exactly athletic.
 
Thanks for your reply! A few people answered and everyone has a different take on the situation...i think i might try to find a fair middle and go a tad bit bigger if space allows. Otherwise, I might just use two separate vivs. I wish they could both be displayed on my big dining room cabinet though...that would be the best! :)
