WOW that's awesome. I'd suggest sealing the wood if you haven't already, so that cage will last you forever and not just a few years.

No problem! I keep my corns in similar sized enclosures, but I do not cohab them as there are many risks to housing snakes together. Though the size is fine for housing two adults. Just make sure they have plenty of hides!

Very nice, all of them. Why is it not good to cohab them? I have had 4 together for several months. Two are about 8 Months & 2 are about 1 1/2 years. one has layed eggs & don't know the sex on the others yet. Most of the time they all curl up together under the newspaper. I do separate them when I feed them. I am working on my 3 level Vivarium so I can separate them.

The oldest, at 1 and a half years... isn't that young enough to cause problems with pregnancy?

There are lots of other threads on why not to cohab. Some of the most severe reasons are illnesses, over breeding, cannibalism, and aggression. I have housed hatchlings together before, but on advice from my breeder they were separated by a year old. Generally, snakes will hit sexual maturity around two years of age, so if you have multiple males you may encounter fighting between them, and your females may be over bred (which can cause damage at the cloaca leading to egg binding). Stress from others may also cause them to go off feed. Curling up together is also a sign of competition for resources within their habitat. Snakes are not social animals, so close proximity to each other tends to stress them out. I am not one to tell someone that their methods of keeping critters is wrong, I can only suggest what I and others have experienced.
Here is another thread about cohabbing, so as to not derail this one

My two large ones are Common Red & Albino. Would that be a bad thing for them to mate? The Common Red layed 11 eggs this year. I Am getting ready to sex the Albino. My Lady I take care of has been in the Hosp. So I have been gone a lot. Hope to sex it this weekend. One and a half to young to breed?
