Housing a male and female together?

I have an Adult Anery Male, a real hansome fella nd now's about the time he's looking to "get some". So, I got a good line on a Female same size 4ft or so. Okeetee and was thinking of getting her in with him and seeing what happens. I've never bred before so it's completely new to me. Anyway, whether they breed or not, would two opposite sex comparably sized Corns do well together in a large enough enclosure? Or should I keep them seperate? Or, should I seperate them only when eating?

I have a male and female yearling pair (Okeetee and Ghost) but keep them seperate as they are still just one year old.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!...R
 
personally i co-hab, and this is a much debated issue on here as you will soon find out...

co-hab = a grilling from most

there are risks involved however they are less when the snakes are older. if they are adults then the only problems you could have would be stress, cannabalism, or pregnancy which you are wanting yes?

oh and if one regurges, you wont be able to tell who did...

other issues are parasites or other health related problems etc but if your snakes are healthy then thats probably not going to be a problem

ah ill let the experts give you their opinion...
what do i know :shrugs:

good luck
 
i did have mine toghther also, the only reason i have now seperated them was becuase i could see my female was stressed. this was beccuase my male kept breeding with her andi didnt think she could stand it no longer.
also when i seperated them, my male started eating again

i would have to say its up to you weather or not you want to house them toghther, you wont get a definate answer off here, it is a 50/50 thing, alot say do, alot say dont
 
Hi D... and welcome!

The prior posts are correct, you'll get a variety of answers here. Some do it with great success and some choose not to. My recommendation to you is do as much research about co-habitation as possible and make your own decisions.

This type of an issue is all about the risk to your snakes and what you are willing to gain (space saving) and loose (cannibalism). There are many alternatives and options you will find.

It is my personal opinion that there aren't gains that are worth the risk of loosing or stressing out my snakes. If I don't have the money to afford additional housing, heat or whatever, I don't get another snake - pretty simple. I take great effort in choosing snakes that appeal to me and I'm very fond of them. I wouldn't want to loose one of them. Also, very simple decision - for me.

Good Luck in whatever your choice is and again, welcome :D

true, maybe at some point ill go on all the forums i can think of... fin all the posts add em up.... nah but still, the only reasn i bouth two and had one viv was becuase ibought them off a friend who housed thme togheter, and i bought every thing off him, but otherwise, i did the best i could to seperate them, thanks to my ice kind neighbour fo giving me one of his old vivs (like new though) but my opinion would be seperate them, to reduce stress, egg binding. you know which one regurges, keep track of there shedding, all sorts really, if one gets sick you dont want both to get sick. i would only suggest housing toghther if you could monitor them 24/7 and pretty much know what your snakes are thinking. i.e being stressed.
