Corns and Milks

[reptiledude21]

I am planning on also getting a Pueblan Milksnake. Can you house these with cornsnakes?

[anacondaman]

hey.... pueblans are really nice snakes... and as far as housing with other corn snakes..... u cant!!! just like many if not all kingsnakes... milksnakes are cannibles. They are very secretive snakes that should be housed alone. THEY WILL EAT OTHER SNAKES!

Putting even individuals of the same sub species together isn't very widely done. There have been many threads about this subject already... even if you keep two corns together, how are you going to get a fecal from the right one if you suspect a problem? If one gets sick somehow, say from nasties harboured in a mouse, how are you going to keep the other one healthy? There are other issues as well, but those some of the more salient ones. Plus there's the tendencies of lampros to eat other snakes as anacondaman pointed out. Long story short, it's just not a good idea really.

ya, i wouldnt put them together. theres alot of stuff that can go wrong expecally waking up and u just have a milksnake in the cages..

As I've said before, NEVER EVER mix species, especially a cannibalistic milk with a corn. Not to mention, I'm against housing more than one snake even of the same species together due to many factors; it can stress the snakes out for starters. If a fecal needs done, how are you going to determine who's feces is who's? And if one snake gets sick, the other occupants do too, so, you end up having to pay veterinarian bills for a few snakes rather than just one.

It's all around a bad idea to put two snakes of even the same species together. Just put you in a small room, with another person. It's stressfull, he/she gets sick, you get sick, you fight, (in the snakes case that can be fatal).......so unless you want to pay double everything don't do it!

Expensive food for the pueblan. Even if the corn is larger, do not do it.

reptile dude I thought you actually had some knowledge in the herp area, going on the amount of nasty comments you make to people, which made me think maybe you had greater knowledge then some people.
Obviously you talk out of your a*s and have very little to say.
Wot a stupid quistion, I feel sorry for your mother.
and your animals.
and your pubic lice

[TheRedDragon]

Well that right there was a pretty nasty comment that <b>YOU </b> just made to a person. Especially the comment about the pubic lice, which aside from being insulting is really uncalled for. He just asked a question, and even if you viewed it as an ignorant one, does not justify you to rip him a new a$$hole. At least he decided to come forward with the question rather than just doing it, and wondering, "Hmmm....why do I only have a milk left with a really fat belly?" and coming to us with <b>THAT</b>!. You have every right to consider the question ignorant, but there was absolutely no reason for you to go over the top like that.

Grow up, KingFfaj. Your comment just made you look like 100 times the idiot that you just tried to portray reptiledude as. Congrats. You managed to outdo yourself yet again.

not a good idea the milksnake is highly canabilistic
