Keeping Snakes Together

[RyanBarnett]

Hi, I have a 7 month Old Snow corn snake and a 18 Month old Common corn snake. I would like to keep them in the same vivarium

They arre both ok for handling does this mean they will be ok towards each other in the same cage?

All help much appreciated.

Vivarium Dimentions (approximately)
Height- 18.5 inches
Width- 18.5 inches
Length- 37 inches

The corn snakes i have do differ in size so would it be better to wait for the smaller to get bigger?

Sorry that there is no pictures i didnt know how to upload it

read the thread above LOL


Lots of differn't views on keeping snakes together


but young snakes tend to be more canabilistic

basically its up to you if you want to take the risk (i keep together) but one of the main rules is they must be all pretty much the same size

so basically yes, wait for the small one to get bigger, maybe feed it slightly more/more often?

I wouldn't risk it until they are roughly the same size.

Thanks i'll try that, but is the vivarium and ok size for them to be housed in?

And i would not advise to keep snakes together unless breeding, there are a lot more risks in keeping snakes together than on there own. Here is a thread showing differnet views;
