IMO 32c is to hot for corns, id have it at 28-30C. Is your heat mat on a thermostat?

No i have been advised not to put it on a stat. Only the main heat source is on the stat. Which goes off at night

Main heat source? All heat sources need to be statted

i personally would seperate as she not at breeding age. Then you be erasing the risk of her becoming egg bound like mentioned previously

any heat source should be stated even heat mats, this is what they can do (graphic pics) this snake is suffering as the owner didn't use a stat

corns dont live together in the wild, they only come together for breeding, you can always get a RUB (really useful box) and keep 1 of them in there, alot of people use them for keeing snakes in.

I don't think i could do that. I haven't got room for a second viv and the one i have is pretty big. i would rather he was in a viv.
