ive got alot of flat sterlite bins 10 20 ans 30 gallons but they are flat aand only like 3 or so inches high is that ok?
 
If they are only 3 inches tall, I would imagine even a hatchling could eventually slither out of that... but thats just my guess. I probably wouldnt risk it.
 
well they lock on the sides and i have about 150 binder clips and plan on clipping up the whole bin lol i have a hatchling in a ten gallon 3 inches high for aobut a week or so now and no problems i just wanna know if its cruel to not give the alot of height
 
6 inches isn't bad. Corns are terrestrial snakes, they don't really *require* height, though many seem to think they're arboreal. Ground space is much more important so as long as the length and width are solid I could see 6in working for subadults.
 
Many professional breeder tubs are 6" or less in height, including the ones I use. With adequate floor space and a substrate they can burrow in, they should be quite content.
 
My starter viv is only about 4 inches high. Once they're a year old I move them into an adult viv that's about 3x2 for my Cleo. Going to get the same one again for Edna, she's a year old in October.

Cleo's adult viv is about 2 ft high. Going to find something I can use to add levels to it soon to give her more space.

Several of my corn snakes utilize extra space up top, especially when they're babies. Floor space is MORE important than height, but I wouldn't say that height doesn't matter at all.
