Corn question

D

Uhhhm, Pineapples.
Soooo, i got my first corn snake, a blood caramel yealing about 2 days ago, and ive fallen in love <3 :3 I think i need another, but my question is, can i keep 2 in a tank together? The one i have now is a female, in a 40 gallon breeder. They would be same sex, but better to be safe then sorry.. Dont want my baby to get eaten alive :p
 
I don't suggest it, but a lot of people will tell you it's fine. As long as they're the same size, in a large enough space, and on the same feeding schedule.

I'm sure others will chime in and give their opinions and you can decide through that. :)

I would not risk it. It's fairly common for 'females' to actually be mis-sexed males (you can't confirm a girl until she's laid eggs), and while rare corns do sometimes eat other snakes. I had a pair that I put together to breed (the male turned out to be a female!) when the 'male' promptly coiled the known female. I had to run them under cold water to get them separated.
 
Snakes are solitary animals. They do not require companionship.
Hatchlings to yearlings are the most prone to cannibalism. It is very unlikely that an adult corn snake would eat another adult corn but still they should not be cohabitated. Even though they might curl up with each other they are still competing for that spot causing stress.
Bottom line ...... NO :)
 
I drilled small holes in each side. Keeps the humidity nice in these dry months with the heater running full blast.
 
Yeah I learned the soldering iron trick after I'd already spent the time drilling and smoothing the holes. I'm prepared for future tubs. :)
 
Luckily my husband is a pretty handy guy and I hadn't even thought about how to do that part, that's just what he suggested. He knew it would crack, where as I would have ruined it! But some you can drill ok just depends on the material it's made of - but I forget which is which :shrugs:
