putting corn snakes together

I am about to get a new corn snake (tomorrow, actually). However, I already have a 2 1/2 year old male. He lives in a 20 gal repti-tank and I was wondering if I could put them together or should I keep them separate. She is only a few months old and about 1/3 the size of the male. So, should I wait until they get to be about the same size???? Thanks.

Oh Boy...........
Please please do a search here in the search section on cohabitation and you will see way you shouldn't keep corns together. Unless, you have vast experience in snakes, you shouldn't try this. Just to keep them in the same room you should quarantine the new snake first to see if ill or is infectious.
Do a search on that too. Sorry to sound like a health freak I just want the snakes to be safe.

:santa:

I wonder how many times each week this question gets asked? We are already up to 2 for this week, and it's only Tuesday.

The short answer is no, you cannot put those two together without running some serious risks. The primary risk, of course, is that the bigger snake will eat the smaller one.

I don't know why Kathy's book isn't mandatory reading for getting a corn. A copy should accompany every snake purchased by a new corn owner

I know I made my hubby buy & read & re-read it. But at least they come here because there are tons of nice people to help
