Keeping two corns together and what temps should they be at if seprate???

In short:



Snakes do not like each other. Snakes do not have friends. Snakes are solitary, and are stressed if they are forced to live together. There are a multitude of reasons why snakes should not be cohabitated, and no one has yet to name one way cohabitating snakes benefits the snakes.

Keep them at about 85F on the warm side. In their own, separate enclosures.
 
Hi Martyn!

Nanci summed it up. The only time 2 corn snakes should be in the same enclosure is when they are having sex. Otherwise, no.

I came here last autumn. I wanted to keep two snakes together for the color contrast. I learned better before I did it. If you want to read what I read that stopped me from keeping two snakes in the same enclosure, search "2 corns in one cage" using the search button near the top of the website.

Anyway, from one newbie to another, don't do it, OK? Your snake deserves the best care, and living with another snake is not it. In the worst cases, it could even be fatal. It's just not worth taking the chance.
 
Good! Although you will find some people, including a big breeders, that do keep snakes together, there's never a problem until there's a problem. It's better to be safe than sorry. When you see snakes together, out in the wild, it isn't because they want to be together, it's because they are competing for the same optimal conditions. Keeping snakes separately, each can have free choice of where they want to be and what they want to do without having another snake taking over their area. No one is going to be fighting, getting gravid when they are too young, laying undetected eggs which subsequently die, spreading disease or eating anyone.

Do you guys only consider it wrong to cohab corns, or other snakes too? I had to very nice ball pythons together for a little over 3 years. I sold one of them to someone who wanted a good beginner snake. As soon as The one snake was gone I noticed the other acting very funny, and soon after died. He did not lose weight or get sick, just simply died. It was also weird because both snakes were male and never fought.:shrugs:
