Hi guys, Preparing my tank for it's new inhabitants. I just wanted to know, Is it fine to house 2 of these beauts together (Givin that the viv is big enough space for 2..) B.t.w, all of them will be corns of some morph. So if anybody can let me know on this one, it'll be greatly appreciated.:cool:
 
Cannibalism is an issue which cannot be denied but many herpers keep them together with no problem just make sure whne u feed them do it seperately and keep them seperate for around an hour after eating so the animal is in the stomach and the smell isn't all over them. It's usually the scent of food that causes corns to eat each other or grabbing on to the same food item.

The big question that hasn't been asked yet:

What sex are they? Are the both males, females or a pair?
 
Housing together is no good. For any snakes.

1. Snakes are solitary creatures by nature.
2. If one gets sick, BOTH are now sick most likely.
3. You cannot moniter who is passing what waste, or if a regurg occurs, who did it. This can be vital.
4. If male and female pair, early breeding may occur which can be very dangerous for the female.
5. You will have to feed out of cage, speratly, then give time for any mouse smell to wear off, then fianlly reintroduce and hope neither is in a hungry enough mood to kill and eat the other.

IMHO with caging being so affordable, no snakes should have to share a home with another. Another snake in the enclosure means competition, which = stress.

There is no good reason to house them together either.

I completely agree with bmm.

With that said, if a keepeer insists on continuing with a dual-housing arrangement the sex of the snakes becomes a primary consideration. Two males isn't acceptable. A young pair isn't acceptable. There are many things to consider.....
