Like with housing corns together, is there a notable risk of one eating the other when the male and female are put together??
Thanks guys :) |

| Not as adults, but they will breed. They should alway be put to together, never housed together x |

| What would be the recomended age to split them up if you raised them from hatchlings? Within the first year? |

| think most hatchies are kept separate from hatching as they ae the most likley to eat each other whn they are little. don't think its as common when their older but like georgina said they will breed. |

Corns aren't known to be cannibalistic, but then again, who wants to risk it?
You probably want to keep hatchies seperate anyway, any health issues (god forbid) would be spread if they are housed together, and underage breeding is life threatening for the female.
It's better to just not risk it at all, use little tubs, they don't take up much space and they are better for checking who's poo's who's etc incase of health problems.
Same sex housing is alright, and I'm sure there is no chance of cannibalism in corns. It's hard enough to get them to eat mice when they hatch, let alone each other!! |

| There have been posts on here when people have experienced cannibalism with young corns. Most likely after feeding when they still smell of food I believe. Not worth risking it in my opinion for the sake of a few quid for another setup :) |

That's madness!
I guess though if they smelled like mice then they would...
scary thought!
If a corn ate another corn would it survive?

Ah I see.
I wouldn't keep them together anyway, for the other reasons I put, but it's good to know!
Kathy and Bill Love's book says that they show no signs of cannibalism, but they must if people have had experience of it!!
very scary thought  |

A33, I definately believe you all!
I just use Kathy and Bill's book as my corn snake bible lol, so i was surprised to believe it.
You guys are the proper experts though, and I wouldn't question what you tell me   |

Just looked at those pictures and nearly cried...
Definately definately no co-habbing of hatchlings EVER.
I hope everyone else who hasn't seen them looks, it'll make sure NO ONE does it!
