I have 4ftx1.5ftx2.5ft herptek vivariums and 3ftx3ftx2ft herptek vivariums in my shed.

I currently own 15 cornsnake juveniles that are housed separatly in small standard faunariums. I have 10 females and 5 males, mostly being paired variations of colour.

When these are big enough to go into the herpteks how many can I put in a tank together?

I have 5 pairs and 5 different females, I was thinking of putting together 1 paired variation in each 4 ft viv with an extra female of different variation.

Would this work?

I must get some pictures up of my set up and collection. I could do with some cornsnake identifications...I've forgotten all their variation names...
Need to start labeling things...

the only time i have encountered males sparing is when there is also a female present, i personally haven't kept males together, but i know of many who have without any problems, i keep adult trios together, 1 male to 2 adult females

How do you find the breeding season with the trios? Will the male mate with the two females or just the one?

the male mates with both girls, he would do a lot more if i let him, but for his sake he gets 2 females, i don't like giving him to many as it can tire him out, but he would do 4 females comfortably,

Until your corns are full grown, you need to keep the sexes separate otherwise there is a strong chance that if you have male and female together they will breed before the female is mature enough. This will be harmful to her and she may not be able to lay the eggs successfully.
