Made a hatchling rack from an old Ikea cd storage box, added some braplast plastic tubs with a heatmat stuck to the rear inside.
Its also pretty portable.

This is my hatchling rack but it is not really ideal for corns as the space between shelves and tubs are to large but it gives an idea of tub size



This is my old adult corn snake rack with large contico tubs to give an idea of how the tubs would fit into a lidless system



For corns i would use either small contico or cadburies boxes personally as they stand up to the test of time but in all honesty any suitable size tub will do.Just build the rack to suit and then run a heat cable round it.

I'm using the braplast ones too. I bought a nice cabinet with full glass doors off ebay and have just put heat mats and stats into that! Ebay/Ikea Bargain Basement sometimes yield some great racks!

I use an Ikea bookcase with heatmats on the back. Used Braplast boxes last year, but won't be anymore after having a few escapees from them.

One thing.
Before you build the rack make sure you have all the boxes to fill it.
I once got some great boxes and built a rack for them.
Initally I got 6 boxes to trial the size.
When I went back for more boxes, after building the rack, the shop had sold out and I had to contact thier supply to buy another 150 !

Escapees is why I always have a hatchling rack with doors on the front so even if they get out of the tub the rack is secure, otherwise I can't sleep at night, I've seen very young corns escape out of the most secure of boxes!
