Another snake?

I've been told snakes don't get lonely or bored, but I was just wondering if I did decide to get another snake, would it be alright to put them in the same cage? I have a friend who has 3 snakes in a rather small container, and my enclosure is bigger, and Gee is living alone. I have a 40 gallon and I was just wondering if Gee would get upset if I placed another snake in there.
 
It is not recommended to put two snakes together unless they are of breeding age and only for the act of breeding. You can however place two snakes in a 40 gallon tank as long as you have a divider separating them. Please pick up a book on corn snakes. Don Soderberg has a good one called Corn Snakes in Captivity. Also check out Kathy and Bill Love's Corn Snakes : The Comprehensive Owner's Guide.

Happy tails,

I really do not want to start a co-hab flame war, but no it is not ok for you to house two snakes together unless it is for breeding. There really is no reason for it, if you would like another snake simply purchase another set up. For your friend who has three in a tank/container you need to tell them that this is just a problem waiting to happen. If you go to the search option on this forum and type in "co-habing" you will get all kinds of information and horror stories explaining the problems that go along with co-habbing. Trust me this is not a path you want to start going down. Best of luck and I hope you make the right choice.
 
I agree, and unless breeding would never Cohabitate any snakes. Please do some research and share it with your friend.

A new setup can be less than $50 or for me a record high of $187.68 for just one snake.
