There's a lot of strong opinions of co-habiting corns. Some do it with no problems and others aren't so lucky.
I won't do it because I'm not willing to risk losing my Essfer, but as I said some do so. The general consensus is that if you are to cohabit then both snakes should be out of their juvenile stage and an equal size as cannibalism can and does happen, as well as less terminal issues such as stress which can lead to poor-feeding, loss of condition etc. can also cause problems and keep in mind that snakes aren't typically social creatures.
Definitely look at the linked post as it covers issues, and also shows why people feel so strongly about it.
Only you can make the decision but I would only do so after reading all the information you can so you can make an informed choice. |

Its really up to the keeper whether they do or not. But if you are considering it then read up on the possible problems of cohaniting. IF you think you can handle if something were to go wrong or could manage avoiding it however, then be it up to you.
There are keepers on here who do co-hab. Some have done so for years without probs, yet there are others who have co-habbited and things have gone very wrong.
Entirely up to the keeper as stated... and keeper MUST educate themselves about it all.
Personally though I would never co-hab. |

| There are pros and cons to cohabbing adults but as young snakes it's just plain silly and risky and shouldn't really be thought about until they are older. |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
