a quick question with hopefully a good answer

Can you mix Corn Snakes and Rough Green Snakes in the same cage together?
You asked for a good answer. Here's the best answer I can give you. Click on the search engine above, type "housing corns together". You'll get quite a bit of reading material to help you make your decision.

Good luck.
 
JC, reptiles are solitary creatures. Regardless of what owner perception is, they prefer to live alone. Mixing corns is a no-no; as is mixing species.
 
Personally, I think mixing species is far worse than housing two of the same together (which I also think is a bad idea). They have different habitat requirements (although there are similarities), so you'd need a viv that's long (for the corn) that has a fair amount of height (for the green, because they tend to be more arboreal than something like a corn). From a monetary perspective, it'd be cheaper to buy two vivs - one meeting the needs of the corn, one meeting the needs of the green.

If you housed them together, what would you do about feeding? They have entirely different diets. Greens eat wax worms, crickets, etc. And if you do a search on feeding corns crickets, you'll get the idea that maybe it's not the best (or acceptable) diet plan for a corn.

There are plenty of other reasons why you shouldn't do this, but like someone already mentioned, do a search on housing corns together, then add in the factor of the second "corn" being a completely different an unrelated species.
