    Re: how many snakes in a 20 gallon.

    Standard 20 gallon or the long version? I have my 6 garters in a 20 long, but they were born last year and need to be split up soon. One adult female or 2-3 adult males would probably be the most you want in there.

    The answer depends on what size snakes are going in.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I have 3 smallish males in a 20gal and two 20+inch males in another.

    Ive had all 5 in one and it worked ok, problems were feeding and cleanup.

    It would probably be a 20 long. And the snakes are about 25inches long

    I suppose you could put one male in it but something bigger would be ideal.
