Keep M Together?

8 Herps and Counting.....
I was wondering wether or not those of you who have multiple corns keep them together. I have three, and they all seem happy as clams together. There are 2 males and 1 female. They are also babys. So at some point do I separate them, or can they co-exist well with one another? :shrugs:
 
2 males and 1 female is not a good idea. You should split the sexes. Second, the size difference. It will be stressfull to the smaller one. For snakes stress is a really bad thing. It can seriously undermine their health and can result is non-eating and nasty deseases. You can keep simulair sizes and sexes together. Though other people here won't recommend it due to possible cannibalism. I choose the risk to low and keep 2 males and 2 females in 2 viv's.
 
Just seperate them corns are not social they like to be alone unless its breeding season so just go out and get two rubbermaids for the snakes
 
hmmmmm

That is so interssting, cause you both said that they wouldnt want to be together. they are all the same size, and on more than one occasion,they all are coiled up together. I do have other vivs, or access to others, so separation may be in order! Thanks all
 
More likely than not, they are coiling together because they are competeing for the same area (the spot where the temperature is at the exact level they need). It would be better to seperate them out if possible.
 
I am not an expert, as I have read many people keep snakes together with no problems. But I would have to agree from my reading that once the snakes get older the two males may fight over the female or become aggressive/stressed.

Just on a side note, check out the following link to a recent post where two hatchling were just temporarily kept together and a pic of what happened. I am sure no one would want this to happen.
