I wouldn't really class it as space saving, this depends on your viv size preference to start with, to me a 50l RUB is not big enough for an adult cornsnake - that's the way I read it anyway. (yeah I know all the RUB fans will shoot me but I am just not a fan )

I like my snakes to have room to move about.

I do house females together aswell but do follow the list that Ssthisto has put up.

  4. They've all been appropriately quarantined
  5. You separate them for feeding and for a while afterwards to ensure no mistaken munchies bites
Personally? Just because someone CAN co-house successfully doesn't mean everyone WILL co-house successfully... and I wouldn't want to take the risk.

We have one adult corn in a display viv.
Everyone else will be in tubs on a rack.
Right, thanks for that.
We have room for vivs (3ftx2ftx2ft) for each of our corns (and intended corns). The 2 we have home at the moment are in tubs, with individual heat mats, and upon the arrival of the rest they will be in multiple tubs with a single strip heat mat.
I just like to see them in vivs, and so that's what I'll be getting them. (I have a thing for nicely landscaped vivs!) Looks like separate vivs will be the way to go, so I'd best start getting them together for when they are all older.
As it stands, we can't be 100% sure on genders as they are all still only young, we have only gone on what we have been told, and will start thinking about probing when they are all a little older.
