Housing corn snakes together

Aimez le monstre.
I have a 6 month old Ghost. And I would like to buy another one he wasnliving with when he was in the petstore(not that long ago) I want to move them into one tank together. I know you should wait a few months to get to know them well and have them calm down which I will do. One thing I am conserned about is pregnancy (unless they are both the same sex I dont know for sure what the sex of mine is but i say he is a boy and I hev no clue the sex of the other one i want but since it is a snow i would like to call her a girl and name her Luna. But if they are both boys or both girls do you think they would fight (territoral purposes or something) But maybe since they have lived together they might not have much of a problem. I'm kinda iffy about the whole thing. I know I would love to keep them both together but what other problems might arouse other them pregnancy (which I dont want) and fighting. I also know I should keep them seprated for a while after they eat. I need second opinions and some guidence please.
 
Well, its not good to keep 2 corns together, no matter what sex they are. I would get another cage and everything and keep them separate for many reasons. Yes, fighting is one, they could get really stressed, they could also breed.

Good luck!
 
As said, co-habitating corns isn't a good idea. Yes it saves money on tanks, but it can result in unwanted breeding, fighting and resulting injury, and spreading of parasites. Also it becomes harder to tell who eats what, who regurgitates what, and who sheds what. not to mention the stress that they will be under.

It's just all round not a good idea. It likely leads to expensive vet bills, and even more importantly, injury or possibly death to the animals in question. It's worth the money for a second tank.
 
I'm not so much worried on saving prices on tanks. It would be nice if i could keep them together though. Thank you.

and wow that never accoured to me keeping track of who did what.

too much confusion and risk for me.


Thank you both :]
 
Snakes are not herd animals. They want to be alone. Your snake does not miss his buddy- he's glad to have his own room! When you see them all "cuddled up," it's not because they love each other, it's because that one spot has been determined by both to be perfect conditions at that time, and each wants the spot more than they want privacy.
