    for adults? seems a bit small ide say 41 at least but thats why i am asking. corns get long but not girthey. i was thinking of doing a hug 41 quart rack for my milks balls kings and corns then a juvinal rack once i start breeding them in a few seasons.

    I use 28-41qt depending on size. Anything in that range should be just fine unless you have an exceptionally large corn.

    For hatchlings I use 2.2qt tubs. Juveniles less than a year I use shoebox sized tubs. Yearlings do fine in 15qt.

    Keep your kings/milks in the same size tanks as you would your corns of the same size. :gj:

    I know a lot of people who keep their corns in 32 qt, but with corns I think the more spacious the better. I have mine in a 41 qt and I hope to eventually have a 40 gallon breeder or larger for a display tank. Even when they are shy, they do seem to enjoy cruising.

    Re: tubs
    yes it would be great to get all of my corns and kings in 40 breeders but since i dont have the space or the money tubs it is. so 41 quart racks! one of my buddies is a really high end hognose breeder bret bumgarder. he has a HUGE HUGE rack system and tons of extra tubs so i am going to be getting some free 41 quarterss from him

    You can use 41 qt tubs, but they're fine in 32 qt tubs.
