Tub Size- Corn Snakes

Quick question for any corn snake keepers. What's the minimum size needed for an adult corn snake? I haven't had any experience with adult corns so I have no idea how big they typically get, my little one is less than a foot still and about the width of a shoestring. I've heard some people say 41q, others say 32q and some say 66q.
Thanks!

They can get to a decent size ... plus they’re so active and beautiful they thrive in vivariums !!

Considering how active they are I'd plan on a minimum of 54-qt for an adult female and 41-qt for a male.

I keep corns but only use glass tanks, never tubs. Adult corn snakes (depending on age & size) do well with 29-40 gal. tanks. You can convert the volume for
comparison, or look up the dimensions of standard glass tanks, etc.

I keep most of mine in tanks too.

I think standard for most breeding facilities with racks is a 28/32 qt as a minimum but 41 qt is the most optimum. I think v35 tubs are also ok.

So probably 41qt for a minimum and larger (52qts) for females and large males?

I think that's fine.

Solana is in a 36"X24"X12" (LXWXH) Boaphile and can easily live there for life. Figment is in a 48"X24"X12" but he's pretty big for a corn. He could easily live in the a tank the size of Solana's as well. I happen to have a tower of 48"X24" tanks and he got one.

I will say they are fairly active, so a little more room cannot hurt. Height isn't really an issue.

I agree. I use coco coir with 15% sphagnum moss as a substrate (it ranges from 4" to 8" deep). She can dig all day and it won't collapse on her. Plus I put in a gardenia along with live moss and isos. I don't worry about height either, but she loves lots of plants (fake or real) to slither through.
