Housing babies together for SHORT term okay?

I'm getting 3 new babies at the end of the month. We are in the process of building a Lg. 4 viv. condo unit, but it won't be completed for a few weeks AFTER we get them. Is it ok to house them together in a 10 gal. tank (fed seperately of course)till it's done? Will this cause stress on the babies? I hate to have to spend extra money on seperate tanks for such short use, but I will gladly if this will cause major problems. Any advice or opinions would be great.

Thanks

:) Colleen
 
For the most part housing corns together usually isn't a problem since they are not canibalistic. They has been documentation stating that when they are newborns they may eat another baby snake. Keep an eye on them, I know a lot of people that house them together without a problem. Also, cheap small plastic containers are fine to house them temporarily until their home is complete. MAKE SURE AIR HOLES ARE SMALLER THAN THEIR HEADS. Where the head goes the body goes!

actually snakes are carnivores. just to let you know. I think what you ment to say was their not canables. but even in some rare cases they are.
 
It'll be alright but then separation of the two as soon as possible is recommanded. Breeding (this would be a problem for snakes that are too young) and canabalism could occur

Good Luck and Happy Herping!
