Im sure this is a silly question but for those who have more than one corn snake can you take more than one out at the same time ? I mean will this cause aggression between the snakes ? If so would the scent of one snake set off another if you went from handeling one to the other ?
I'm getting another corn snake tomorrow and I just want to be sure what I should and shouldn't do when it comes to them interacting. They will be in separate vivs but I like to handle Flump most days and for the most part he seems to enjoy getting out for a stretch and so I'd like to do the same for my new addition.
Thanks |

From expereince, do not do it. This is how snakes can get lost as its had to keep track with our front facing eyes on where two snakes heads are and where they are going. |

midget comes out on his own but the girls depending on fed and shed come out together 5 pairs of hands all willing to hold snake's..pop's and midget had a face to face the other day but both point blankly ignored each other |

I have to say that wanting a nice photo of them together played a big part in wanting to do it and is what made me think about the possibility of having them both out at one time. Ah well i'll just have to look like a crazy lady with twice as many pics lol
Thanks again
ohhh im pretty sure you wont hear any complaints about too many pics here hehe |

I have had all 3 of mine out at once , on one occasion.
As snakes dont realy interact they seem to gain little from the experiance, overall its just easier and safer to handle one at a time. |

Handling a male and female together could cause problems, especially if you have a randy male, speaking from experience So one at a time I would say. |

One at a time for me for reasons already mentioned.  |

Very difficult to juggle two snakes, specially if one gets away from you because you dont have a spare hand free.
After the quarantine period there is should be no real risk of aggression etc, snakes are solitary but they are usually docile and just avoid each other, the real risk is cross contamination but if both are seemingly healthy then in theory there shouldn't be a problem but as with most things theoretical things can go wrong so its upto you to weigh up the pros and cons. |

I always handle mine one at a time, no specific reason I do this just like to give my full attention to whichever one I am handling. |
