*Graphic* Why NOT to house your snakes together.

I agree that it is a great post to bring up but it is so old i do not even think that the person who started this thread still comes to this forum

I think that, regardless of how old it is, or who started it, that this thread is extremely timely in it's reappearance, given the recent 3-4 threads asking about cohabbing. This thread should be put on an automatic "bump cycle", where it gets bumped to the front by server every 60 days just because . Too bad you can't really do that...

Man see wish I had found this before I had put a younger corn with my older corn.

I did not take cohabing them together lightly. I had always kept my snakes seperate but wanted to cohab them just wasn't sure was to afraid somethign woudl go bad. I knew not to house any with my cal king.

But when I got the two new corns the dealer at a repitle expo said yes it should be fine.

Just goes to show you read around and don't trust a dealer/breeder at a show unless you know more about them etc.

I was going to buy another corn today. I have a 9 month old male and I was going to buy a 4 month old female and put them together. I am glad I came here forst and checked it out. I would never want my snakes to do this and I have learnt a lesson without having to witness it for my self. Thanks so much...

I would argue with somebody on here but it was a very long time ago and that would be silly now >< But I am also glad this thread is here to inform others. I have never and will never house corns together but I see a TON of people asking this question and now I have a link to show them!!

Funny this thread should pop up now! There is a new person who recently asked why one of her 2 co habbed corns wasn't eating....well, DUH!!!!

Then when I told her the truth, she got all snippy and offended.....

I saw that thread

I did not read most of the thread but my opinion is that snakes are by nature solitary. Even during brumation and mating nothing is going through their head like "Hey, theres Billy black snake.....I knew him back when I was a neonate!" No snakes don't roll that way. Snakes live on their own. The only interaction they have is with their predators, prey, bacteria, and parasites....and reptile hoarder owners!
