Great name ;)
There is a big thread on housing 2 together.. And it's all down to preferance.
It's best to leave them seperate until at least 3 years old.
If you have a male & female; then they could mate.. and the female could become eggbound due to pregnancy before mature.

ugh. this again. it may sound like a good idea to keep 2 together,. but too young and cannabalism can occur, premature mating, fighting, etc etc.
aaand i jsut read how that sounded. i dont want to sound harsh, but its a bad idea jsut generally, and i know that 90% of people on heere agree with me. Kehhlyr, GP, wanna back me up here guys? :) |

Well yet another opinion, I co-habit my corns 3 in each viv boys in one girls in another - I wouldn't recommend putting young ones together but yearlings and up there are very few problems. Your gonna get 10 different answers if you ask 10 different people but at the end of the day it’s your decision that counts as you’re the one who will have to live with it if something does go wrong.
Oh and Chimp276 is it really necessary to comment on peoples spelling?? Everyone on here should feel welcomed and not got at for something as daft as being naff at spelling. Rant over

totally agree PA 
babies there's a risk of cannibalism
juveniles there's a risk of breeding too young to be healthy
adults and at all ages, there's a risk of bullying and fighting
i'm not against co-habiting as long as it's done correctly to minimize ALL risks. |

Going back to the original topic of housing together.
I house Corns together, my 3 in fact are housed together. However, i can't say I'd recommend it.
I have only once had an issue with me co-habiting, but sometimes nothing can go wrong, other times loads can go wrong. It's a risk you'll have to take IF you co-habit.
There are pros and cons to it. For example:
Less cost for setup
BUT
Greater risk of increased vets bills (and they are extremely high with snakes)
So you could save money one way, but lose more as well.
I can't happily encourage or recommend co-habiting, but it would be hypocritical of me to discourage it.
It's purely about making sure all the risks are known. |
