I keep 3 in the viv, they were in a 5x2x2 viv, but were a bit sketchy, since dropping down to a 4ft they've been a lot better.
A lot depends on the size of the snake and how decorated (full) the viv is. |

| 3 foot viv is big enough for any corn snake, mines in a 3 foot viv. the viv doesnt have to be as long as the snake is when it is slithering straight. otherwise people who own 20 foot pythons would have 20 foot vivariums. |

| What would you say the size of a viv should b for keepin 2 corns together. i no some people say you shouldnt, i currently keep them in to smaller tanks as they are about 6 months and 4 months but as they get bigger want to keep them together, i hold them together and they seem to love each others company, |

| makesure they are the same sex then if you dont want them breeding. and be prepared if one snake gts a medical problem such as an RI coz it will pass it on to the other and cost you double in vet bills, that would be my biggest worry |

| i no the younger is female but unsure about the other. Will get he/she checked. I got a while until i do house them together, just wondered if a 3 ft viv is big enough for 2 together. |

| you have to bear in mind you need the space to provide extra hides so thay have one each at either end - 4 in total is a minimum. i'd personally go for a 4 footer for cohabiting same size adult corns. |
