Sorry, but this is poor information. Corns are most likely to be canabalistic when young and also males are sexually mature a lot younger than females. So you could get a young couple mating before the female is ready which can cause all sort of problems, even death. |

| From looking at other peoples posts and the debate on the sticky I'd say that other then for mating, corns are solitary creatures who derive no pleasure from being together, apart from possibly sharing body warmth. So it's only us that gets anything out of it. I'd be against keeping more then one snake permanently together just for that reason. The potential problems that could occur should outweigh our desire to find it 'cute' that our snakes appear to be cuddling etc. |

| I keep my two young corns together, both around 6 months now and they have been perfectly fine together. I seperate when feeding so they dont both go for the same food. Soon i am making my own vivs which will be a 3 stack thing, i will then be putting them in seperate tanks. I know 1 is a female but unsure about the other hense the reason i putting them seperate. |

It could work, but you would have to be prepared for eggs. |
