I don't think it's gallon what's it about. Corns are ground snakes. A high viv won't make them happy, even if it's 100 gallon. It should be 0.7 to 1.0 the size of the snake long. They'll like to do a bit of climbing though i would still supply some climbing materials. I don't know if 2 snakes in a viv would demand an even larger one. I leave that question to the more experienced members here. Though always goes there a huge difference in what a snake needs to survive, and what will give him a happy live. Personally, i ALWAYS buy more then the minimum standards. Minimum is just enough for surviving.
And hye, my 120 x 40 x 50 viv for my two 7 week old babies just arrived
And i'm not even sure if i won't give them a larger one when there getting older.

And i'm not even sure if i won't give them a larger one when there getting older.Can't speak from personal experience as I've never tried it, but I've always understood that adult male Corns may fight and injure each other during the breeding season. That's the reason I've never done it and I wouldn't recommend it.
Height can provide useful extra floorspace if you have room to add bits in. I have three feett tall vivs, with two wide shelves at one and two feet off the floor. A couple of my Corns have taken up residence on the shelves and rarely venture onto the "ground floor" any more!

Well, if your corn is 100 cm long the viv should be 70 to 100 centimeter long. 0.7 to 1 in other words. At least, that's what i real in the books. Bigger the better to me. As long as there's plenty room to hide so the snake will feel save and comfertable.
I don't see why 2 males would go fight if there's no female around. From what i've heard it's pretty much the same with all animals. All male go good, all female go good. 1 male goes oke with many females. More males to 1 or more females total war. You can expect that patern since it's all about who get's the babe

Hi this is just my piece of advice. I dont know if it will help. I personally do not keep my snakes together except when breeding. Especially hatchlings. Then can turn cannibalistic (i've heard). Whether its two males or two females, I still wont keep them together for one main reason....you still have to seperate them to feed them. If you dont you will find yourself in a bad situation. THey will fight over the food even if you put in 4 mice. Its just how they are they are hunters in the wild and its their natural instinct to fight for their food. Anyway I hope that helps a bit.

People coved the housing corns together (try the search function for more details) but it is basically frowned upon.
As far as decoration, many people like using tree branches to provide sturdy, nice looking climbing. You must treat the wood to make sure it is free of any life (go a search on that....I don't know much).
I am a fan of PVC, it is so versitile. You could make anything you wanted out of it, and it is VERY sturdy. However, just plain PVC was a little slippery and boring. I bought a bunch of a fake plant at Walmart and hot glued it onto the PVC. Not only does it look good now, it provides coverage in the tank (making little snake feel secure), but it gives all sorts of fun ways to climb around and fall off of leaves.
If you got a tall tank, it seems like you could cut shelves of glass or PVC (make sure the exposed edge is NOT sharp), then probably use silicone to secure it into place. I've never tried this, but it seems like it should hold decent weight if done well. If it seems flimsy, make climby things to help suport it (or PVC Columns).

first off, I dont feed in seperate containers because I dont have the time. It would be easier for me to reply if I could actually read your post. You dont have to seperate but alot of people do. I have never gotten bit by any of my snakes, which is the main reason most people feed in seperate containers to keep their snakes from expecting every time the lid opens to be ready to eat. I get my snakes out on daily basis and they never act aggresive because they are used to being handled and do not expect to get fed every time the lid opens. I didnt mean to come across rude, but it would be much easier for people to understand your posts if you took the time to write right.

thats completely correct jicin, i, myself have never had to experience 2 males fighting over one female, as i only have the one male and 4 females. but 2 males should be okay together as long as a female is not introduced.
good luck
