How big are your snakes? If they are babies, that will work for a while but as they grow you will need a bigger tank. You do need to remember that they grow fairly fast so you will need the bigger tank fairly soon.

not worth it. Tanks are not expensive and heat tape is cheap. Dont risk it. That is my vote.

A 20 gallon critter cage with locking top is about $50.00

all rubbermaids have locking tops. Get the one that fits your snake the best.

I’d highly recommend you don’t house two snakes in one cage. Too many complications. A few being: If you want to keep track of your snakes health records(which you should), you might be confused as to which bp had the bowel movement in the cage, and how would you tell the difference if you had to take a fecal sample in to the vets? Also, when one has mites, all will. When one’s sick, all will be. Then there’s the stress factor...and feeding....it’s all too much risk and trouble for what it’s worth, if you ask me.
