Need some advice on enclosure

So I have an empty enclosure and it is L24",W27",H20" and I was thinking of getting another snake (corn,milk,king,ball) and my friend told me that at full size any of those snake would fit in there. I was wondering if it would work.
So would the full size of those snakes fit? thanks
 
Sometimes gelshark has an interesting sense of humor, but he's very knowledgeable. You have to learn when to ignore and when to listen ;)

Your friend is correct and any of the snakes you listed should be fine as adults in that size tank.
 
I think the only one that might be a little tight would be the ball.

A good general rule of thumb for enclosure size (for most colubrids) is that the length + width should add up to about the length of the snake.

Best of luck in choosing a new pet snake to fill your tank.
 
Also it depends on what type of king snake or milksnake. Some get bigger than others. I know black milksnakes can get up to 7feet long which would be too big for a tank that size IMO.
 
Ok well I wil apologize to gelshark as I didn't know any better. So ball is out of the question. If I get a milk it would be a Honduran would that be ok? If I get a king snake it would be a florida king and I think that would be too big

Is it good for handling? With pueblan milk snakes they freak out and start musking and trying there hardest to escape its seems. Is that a trait all milks snake have? Are hondurans any different?

Mine does not musk (nor does my sinaloan) but they are not as calm and seem to be looking more for the opportunity to "run away" than my corn snakes.
