Definatly not. The only good thing that can come from it is saving a little room. Snakes by nature are solitary, that doesnt change in captivty.

It's a little bit difficult to answer as a general "snakes" question, as some are cannibalistic and you wouldn't want to keep more than one per viv even if they were the same species.

Might be better re-phrased as a Corn-only question?

If someone absolutely refuses to seperate for whatever reason; they need to house them together responsibly. Which means strict seperate quarentene for a few months, and they must have a complete seperate setup ready, and the female must not be kept with a male untill shes of breeding age. With those, you really loose that one benifit of saving space if you need to quarentene them for so long and the seperate set up already there.

I would never house more than one even of the same species, even corns. I have seen pics of cannabalism in corns too, probably extreme cases but still no need for the risk.

No. It's not worth the risk to my snakes and it's easier to keep everything organized as well when they're separate IMO. Definately not worth it though.

No, no, no and no. Not of any species unless they are the type that live in large numbers in the wild...garters, rattlesnakes (at least during hibernation)...Too much health risk.
