So a couple weeks back I noticed 2 of my snakes acting kinda funny. One kept following the other one around. So now the one snake will not eat (refused 3 feedings so far). she has always been a pain to feed, but usually she will take it. now it just seems out of the question.

soooo, should i be expecting eggs? about how long till she will lay them?

thanks.
 
Don't you even own a corn care book? You've been a member here for sixteen months, so you must have seen a crapload of advice against cohabitating corns. I guess you chose to ignore it, so I can only conclude that you felt that you knew better than the majority of people here. So why do you need our advice now?

It doesn't really matter. I saw these questions answered just this morning. And that was probably the 1,300th time they've been answered here. Look around.
 
Well thank you for that. Now maybe someone else out there can give me an answer.

FYI, yes I own a corn snake care book, and yes I am aware of what has been said about cohabitating corns. Ive also read about people having no problems with it at all, me being one of them up untill this point.

You're welcome.

Well, what does your book say? I told you that there were other recent threads that answer your questions. What do they say? Unintended breeding IS a problem. Risky practices are never a problem until there's a problem...

So maybe the majority of us were right about not cohabbing?

You have not given us any information that would allow us to be able to help you even if we wanted to. I think you should look at some other threads as Dean said. You will find some help there.
 
Used google and found out what I wanted to know, and thanks to you I probly wont be coming back to this site.

I'm sorry for upseting you with my questions, wont happen again.
 
And one more thing. Here's some advice you gave just a little over a year ago:

Just some advice though, don't feed them in their main tank for two reasons:
- they don't swallow any bark
- they don't think that your hand coming in the tank means food

I agree with this advice 100% despite the fact that I've read about people having no problem feeding on substrate. Despite the fact that people seem to do it without incident, you gave the advice anyway. Why? You shouldn't give advice based solely on what's convenient or money-saving for you. There are ways to cohab that are low-risk, and the same goes for feeding on substrate. You conducted a high-risk (i.e., cross-gender) cohab scenario with consequences for which you were unprepared, but you advise against other risky behavior. Then you complain when you're called out on your practices. I don't get it.
