| Hi I was after a bit of info I had 2 corns who have lived together for years with no problems but sadly the male died a week or so ago. The female has not exactly been depressed but she has been noticeably less active but is still eating and drinking. I was wondering how likely she would be to react badly to being introduced to another snake ( not straight away as I would get a relatively young snake and wait till it was full sized) I no corns aren't sociable creatures but it just seems as though she is a bit lonely. |

| She's not lonely. She's probably less active and there is more space in the viv now that her moving cage furniture has passed. Theres no need to risk them breeding if you get a male or a wrongly probed female so she can ahve unwanted eggs and possibly become egg bound. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| Its more than likely she is now able to relax now ahe is in a preferable situation, your not the first to mention this phenomenon of one of a pair of cohabited snakes dying and the other one becoming calmer, moving around a lot less and been more settled. I'm sorry for your loss of the other snake but the setup is now better for your remaining snake. |

| Thanks for the advice had a feeling the risks would outweigh the pros just wondered if anyone had done this with positive results. if I do get another I'll just have to sort another set up. |

i agree with above ^^
she's probably, finally, got the 'best spot' and is taking full advantage of it! |
