Is a 20 gallon tank a good size for a corn?
I sometimes check this webpage called Craig list and it’s by city and people can post stuff they are getting rid or selling all kinds of random stuff. Someone on their has tanks of all sizes (gallon) and is offering .50cents a gallon. I was thinking that’s a very good deal and I wanted to get Vito a good tanks and paying 1o for a 20gallon tanks would be a steal. ( seeing how then I have to pay 7-14 for a lid, then 14+ for a UTH) I have extra bedding and a extra hides that are to small for Ziggy but still good for Vito.
 
A corn can spend its entire life in a 20 gallon "Long" tank. Should be no problem, and 50 cents a gallon is a very good deal.

well I'm not to sure what he had, i do hope they are long. He said the biggest one he has is 3.5 feet long. which is 50gallon. I don't need one that big, even if it would be a steal at only 25 bucks!just right now I have a wonderful spot for a 20gallon.
 
Howdy!

You can always buy the 55 gallon, then divide it in half until one is big enough to enjoy the whole thing. Or if one is bigger, 1/3 & 2/3. It is a good deal.
 
yes! get the 55!! the cheapest i can find Tanks around here are about 1$ per gallon still good deal tbh :)
 
Even if it's a 20 tall, it will be adequate for many years. I've got several 3 footers in 15 and 20 talls and they have plenty of room :cheers:
 
I would get the 50 gallon but I have no room for a tank that big. I’m gonna go with the 20 it’s over all a good deal and a good size.
 
What are you going to use for heat control on your uth? That's always something to consider and add in when costing out new vivs... It sucks when the stupid heater is $15 then you have to pay $60 or more for a thermostat..

I know you can build your own rheostat for ten or fifteen, but well...

Anyway congrats on finding the great deals!

Yeah that is one more thing to get but I do have bedding and hides and a water dish. I’ll just have to look around to find the best deal on a thermostat
 
well very nice deal indeed.. mabey consider picking up the 55gal and putting it in storage for future use. :grin01:
 
I have a possibly dumb question, yet related to this topic...

I think that the term "20 gal. long tank" is more frequently used in the States. Here almost every 20 gal. you find is 24" x 12" x 16" can you tell me what the measurements of a "long" tank are?
