How many will fit?

I do that allll the time

I always just go by sight.

If you have a small male, a 10 gallon aquarium is sufficient, Heck even a couple smaller males would be OK.

A larger male or average female would suffice in a 20 long, but a pair of larger females would get a little crowded in there. I kept a M/F pair of average sized radix in a 20 long for years, and they were just fine.

If your caging is too small and you have 2 or more snakes in there, they will constantly be crawling all over each other and smearing poo on one another.

Just a heads up though; your buying options are going to be pretty limited this time of year since breeding goes on in the spring.

Since I'd rather not pay shipping, I will probably be limited to whatever Jason has left after the reptile show last weekend!

I have two girls that live in a 20L comfortably...Selena is pretty small, but Cee Cee is a big garter...almost 3 feet long. They always have plenty of room to explore, burrow, etc.

My snake has plenty of room and STILL manages to smear poop all over himself. It's like he practices.

Before I really knew what I was doing I had my male in a 10 gallon and thought it was fine, since he seemed to just lay around all the time. He's wayyy more active now that he's got a 25 gallon. He's just over 2.5 feet though, so he's about as big as a male can get. My baby is currently in the 10 gallon and, being an incredibly lazy girl, utilizes about 1/3 of it.

I've been keeping two babies in separate 5 gallons and I find that they are both so lazy. They're always in their hides. There is a temp gradient of about 10 degrees (or more) created using multiple levels so that shouldn't be the issue. Hopefully an upgrade will make them want to explore more because I think they are starting to get pretty cramped.
