Its 20 in. long, 10 in. wide, and 12 in. deep. How do I find out how many gallons it is? or does anyone else have a tank this size? My friend gave it to me(he has a snake).

my tank is 36 long, 18 wide, and 16 tall and its 40 gallons. i thing yours is bigger than five. it might be a 10, or even a 20.

Compared to another measurement sounds more like 20. All I know is my 40 gal long measure almost the same as a 55 except in depth.

Your tank is 10 gallons.

10 in. x 20 in. x 12 in. = 2400 cubic inches = 10.39 gallons

This site might help I found it the other day when figuring out what size I should get for the area I have.
