I don't know how many times I have found mixed groups of kingsnakes, milk snakes, and racers under the same cover. The winter dens in the Northeast are full of all varieties of snakes and I bet they get along just fine. Maybe it's because they really don't have Human feelings!

You also cannot assume that an animals behavior in an enclosed captive setting is going to be AT ALL the same as in the wild. A lot of captive animals do things and behave in ways in captivity that they never would in the wild.
Simply put, very few people here would reccomend cohabbing, especially to a newb.
And to me, with as inexpensive as snake housing is, why would you even bother?? If you can afford the $40 cornsnake, you can likely afford the $40 for housing. If you can't, don't get another snake. We've got 37 snakes and not a one is cohabbed.
