Keeping corn/rat snakes together

[vinlim]

Is it possible to keep a few of these snakes together? My dealer says it is possible but problems might arise when it comes to feeding time and accidental swallowing and fights might break out.

Can anyone with experience please advise. Thanks!

I'm guessing your dealer feeds them altogether then...which is a no-no!!

I have a bachelor-pad of adult males and one of them happens to be an obsoleta. The boys all get along without a problem (the sometimes get a little grumpy in breeding season but beyond a bit of twitching they're OK) but are always sepparated for feeding.


The general advice is to not keep them together and if you're not so experienced, that's probably what you should follow.

I see this is your first post....Hmmmhh.

Anyway the answer is a simple one. No!

Next!

Thank you for the help. Actually I have ten corns and all are kept separately but I was just toying with the idea of making one big enclosure for half of them.

So, looks like alone they will have to stay. Cheers

There are about a gazillion threads on this forum covering this very topic. If you read through some of them, you will find all sorts of reasons for NOT housing together, and not one good reason FOR housing together.
