See those photos are all the evidence I'll ever need. If that is even a remote possibility, the only way I can stop it is by not cohabbing. So I will not cohab.

Then again, I also don't go onto dog rescue sites and use my first post ever to start a conversation about how great puppy mills are....

I think field herping holds the answer to co habing snakes.......
Unless it's breeding season how often do you find snakes in groups cuddling...
I find slow worms in the same spot all the time, but never snakes...

Maybe we should just stop feeding the troll. There's nothing more that can be done for him.

Well here is what personal experience I have that would convince me not to cohabitate snakes. Put male and female corn together for first breeding. Everything went fine no aggression from either snake. Second time around the female bit the male, but let go and they bred. Third time she bit and immediately started to constrict him. Had to pry her off him to keep her from killing him. Is why I am always in the room and right on hand when I have two snakes together for any reason. And this was a very recent event. Was also a good thing I had extra hands to get them apart or I would probably be short on proven breeding male.

So in short: No snakes together except supervised breedings.

And yet the thread is still here. It's okay for it to continue after the OP is gone. Really.

At this point I just think more posts about the dangers of cohabbing is just beating a dead horse.

And it's fine for you to feel that way but it doesn't necessarily mean others won't want to share their own views or experiences.

I'm with you Lauren, I came to this forum because I was told co-habbing was OK. I realized on my own it was a bad idea, but this forum confirmed it for me.

The forum always amazes me however at the number of people who come on here for advice and then go ahead and do it their way.

On the other hand we could always discuss this issue http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51941
just saying
