i don't intend to personify the snakes, but i disagree with the statement that they do not like company. i have one tank with two snakes in it, they are too young to mate now, but i realize next year i may need to separate them. for now i will leave them together.
with the option of many hides, i usually find them sharing one together. sometimes when the male is out and gets starled by someone walking around, he will go to the hide the female is in and curl up with her.
i have another set, two males, that do not share the same cage. but i do take them out together from time to time. they also appear to enjoy each other's company (one more so than the other). the timid one will follow the other one around and wrap himself around the other. he also appears to be more calm when the other one is around.
now, these are just my observations from a very small collection. and i agree it should all be determinded on a case by case basis if two snakes should be kept together. but i do not think it should be completly dispelled that corns could possibly -like- being together!
