Is the king female and corn male as well??
I've known responses like that because of that mix of corns/kings in close proximity. |

If the King is bigger than the Corn, maybe she is scared he/she is going to eat her?
I would deffinetly say move them apart and see how it goes |

Yeah I would try moving them.
I've got a king and a corn, king viv on top of my corns and they're fine. But our old hognose went all huffy when we first got our king - wouldn't eat either, had to move him to the other side of the room and then he was fine. |

My corns and king live in the same room, corns don't seem to be effected badly by it and my King hasn't seemed to really noticed the corns as he never bites me when I get him out. Though when its breeding season, I have noticed my female corn when shes ovulating goes hyper, as does my male king and the unknown sexed king. Seriously, one will go one end of the viv and the rest will follow that end in their viv O.o;
You say they are sharing a stat, what temps does it read in the corn and king viv? Corns can get a bit moody when they are too hot, and a lot of people keep their kings are slightly higher temps than corns. |

| i've kept various different species in the same room and the only one that upset pretty much everyone was the Japanese ratsnake. he was feral and didn't take kindly to being captured after a year on the run and never really settled into captive life, he seemed to put nearly everything else on edge......... |

The vivs that I currently have against one of my walls are:
2 western hoggies, 1 small kingsnake, 2 boas, 2 adult kingsnakes, 1 milksnake, 1 corn, 3 beardies and a retic.
I see no feeding or temperament issues with any of mine until spring.
It's possibly that the corn is simply being a finicky thing, it may well chill out again soon enough. |

| if wearing gloves gives you the confidence to handle a snake then the snake will generally be easier to handle because you're more confident and supporting it well........ |
