corns together

I would really like to get as many opinions as possible. I have been talking to alot of people. I have been told by someone with over 14 years experience that you can keep corns together. That yes there have been some rare cases of cannabalism. I was told by him that he just recommends feeding them in seperate places, in other words not together. There is really no need to show the grewsome pics again of corns eating each other. I can fully appreciate the point of the pics yet at the same time I really do wonder the circumstances of the actions I see. Were the corns trying to feed off the same prey??? To many questions for me.
I would appreciate as many replies as possible. I would also love to hear of people who have kept them together. You all are very helpful. I really do look foward to all the input I can get. Thanx

:cool:
 
IMHO:
You <i>can</i> house snakes together but it's not ideal. It makes it very hard to monitor health and the like so the snakes aren't getting the best possible care. I've also heard that housing multiple corns together can stress them out because they are solitary animals and don't like company. And you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell that they were stressed so they would be suffering in silence. Just my opinion.
 
Heatherz,
I have never had any of my Corns show signs of canibalism, that is because I house all my Corns seperatly. Honestly, I don't see a problem short term--but I just don't take the chance! Early breeding is something I have seen, and Egg binding can kill a snake. I would like to here more from someone who has delt with canibalism in corns. I think it is more a missguided feeding response, but I am interested. How bout You Clint, can you comment on this. I have seen the pics.
