how long can i keep male and female hatchling sunglow motley together until i have to worry about them breeding
 
It's not so much breeding you'll need to worry about. Hatchlings can sometimes "accidentally" eat their cage mates. Keep them separate. It doesn't take a lot of extra time or money and it can save you a bunch of headaches...

Also, keeping them together does nothing for the snakes. They are not social animals. It only benefits the keeper.

My 2 cents. :)
 
K thanks
i donno what im gonna do because im getting my snakes wednesday
and i only have 1 tank w/out a cover(poor Planning)
but im gettin another tank and two screen tops from the local rep swap
ill prolly just switch a mouse tank top with my snake tank
and just put some window screen over the mouse tank
(can i keep the hatchlings in the container they came in from wed to sun)
or ill prolly just let them together from the 5 days and hope for th best
or make a crappy divider

what should i do?
 
Don't bother with tanks... you can house your snakes just fine in plastic containers. Tanks cost a lot and aren't ideal for housing snakes (in my opinion). They often don’t restrict escapes, they usually require a bunch of expensive decorations to look decent and I feel they are on the large side for hatchling corns.

Get a couple of the shoebox size Rubbermaid containers and you're ready to go for under $10!

You can't beat them. :)

Here's a little article I wrote about different enclosures and what is best for certain situations... http://www3.mb.sympatico.ca/~cranwill/faq4.html

I have a bunch of other FAQ's on there as well.

Good luck! :)
