PLease post some comments! thanks again...
 
Snow and Okeetee sounds right to me. :)

Hatchlings/youngsters housed together isn't the best of ideas. I'm sure others will chip in here. :rolleyes:

The viv looks like it could maybe do with a couple more ground level hides, especially if you have a pair in there. Other than that, looks nice. :)

(PS ... if you're going to balance rocks to make hides like that, make sure they are VERY securely stacked. If one is under a slab and the other climbs over it and causes a fall you could end up with a squished snake :eek1: )
 
Looks like a nice setup but may be a bit big for 2 babies like that and glass doesn't hold heat very well BUT they look like lovely corns and that okeetee is STUNNING! Congrats on them and i hope you do well with them and they thrive for you!

Thanks for the comments guys...

The rocks are glued together, so I got that base covered... As far as it being too big, I had them in a 10gal and felt bad because Angel (Snow) couldn't move around very much and was bumping into the walls...

For heat, what should I do? What would you reccommend I keep them in?

They seem to be doing real well together, even nestle up against each other and share a hide sometimes. Any reason I should seperate them?

I feed them on different days and keep the one that fed in a seperate tank to digest.

Thanks guys! :crazy02:
 
Beautiful viv...I would add an Under Tank Heater (UTH) plugged up to a thermostat or rheostat and place it underneath your warm side for heat...the lamp makes a better light than a heating source...

Being kept together can add unseen stresses to one or both; If you plan on keeping them in one cage add as many hiding area's as you can, on both warm and cool sides...they may look like the are snuggling, but generally they end up laying together because they both favor whatever hide they are both in...Welcome to the CSF, too :*)
 
Really nice snakes, and nice home. I would add some fake greenery though, it would make it more pleasing to the eye.

Keeping snakes together is a hotly debated topic, but either way be prepared for the chance that one of your snakes can end up eating the other. Corn snakes aren't AS likely to do it as some other types, but it has happened and it's better to know there is the risk there, most especially with hatchlings. Personally, I'd keep them seperate. They're solitary creatures and don't 'need' a friend. :) Also, unless you're absolutely sure they are both female, you're running another risk of them eventually breeding way too young, which can cause problems and even death for the female. Not trying to scare you, but it is better to know these things and be prepared. Good luck!
 
Wow, I didn't know that much. From what I researched it seemed okay to keep a pair together.

They are both females, so I am not worried about babies...

Thank you guys for the heads up, the past two days it has seemed that one likes the warmer side, and the other prefers the cooler side so that seems to be working out as well.

The next few things I will get will be more greenery, and a background.

Keep the comments coming. :cheers:
 
Some issues to consider if you attempt to house more then one in the same enclosure...

- Canabilisum
- Stress
- Early breeding (can result in death)
- Transmission of parasites/disease
- Nearly impossible to tell which one has had a regurge or has abnormal stool

i got 2 corns as well (but in different tanks) and i was wondering do i really need an UTH? the temp in the tanks seems to be 80-85...i use 1 sticker temp gage thing (yes i know they're not very good) and 1 different gage. But i was thinking that these gages could just give me the surface temp of the tank and not inside? :shrugs:
