hi,

I want to get a 55 gallon tank to house two corns in. I plan on splitting tank in middle and was wondering what size UTH i would need for each side? If anyone has done this, any thoughts would be appreciated! thanks. :headbang:
 
Would it be possible to get one and put it down the middle of the viv and then each side would have half of the heat mat?

Wow freak out...OP said they were splitting it in the middle, thus separating the snakes.

The bottom area actually will equal that of 2 20 gallon tanks when split evenly. So just two Zoo Med heaters that are good for a 20 gallon tank. I'd also suggest placing them on opposite sides (one on far right, one on far left) to allow for a proper gradient in each side.

If you put a divider in, it's FINE. Calm down.

My hog was originally housed in a divided tank with a black pine snake in the other side. They're both thriving today, almost 10 years later!

OP, I agree with AshleyShadows, I think the 20 gal size would work well. Maybe get it set up a week in advance of moving the inhabitants in so you can make sure the temps are going to stay where you want them.
 
thanks..I thought it would be two 20 heaters but wanted to check. and yes it will be separated with a divider! the two snakes are housed in two 20l set ups now and wanted to put into one tank (with divider) to save space and put in living room without tanks everywhere. thanks again
