seperate?

[Bartman]

I bought two corn snakes at the show last week, from the same person..and was wondering if i should split them up since only one has eatin...thanks!

[sapphire_moon]

ummm, you shouldn't house 2 snakes together anyways (unless breeding) and from what I recall you just got them as babies? Right?

Especially corns, you could end up with one corn, not 2 (especially since one is eating and the other one isn't)

[Bartman]

oo! really! oh crap, their going out tonight then..

[Matt_K]

Yeah Adam, it's better to keep em serperated dude.. I witnessed some cannibalism in corns last week.. Not a pretty site.. :D There's a thread somewhere on the site posted by Simon too, you should check it out, your corns will stay seperated for life after reading it.. LOL. :D

I must agree, housing the animals seperate will also help in the monitoring of there health and growth.

and Congrats on the new snakes :)

Prob is i have to wait till saterday for the show to pick up a tank..they;ve been fine for the past 4 days, you think they'll be ok till saterday??

whats wrong with a rubbermaid?

[Bartman]

i dont have a heat lamp or anything..i was planning on splitting them up at the show..like getting the whole second set up at the show because i didnt like them being together anyway..i just asked if they were ok together...

[asphyxia]

rubbermaid and a heating pad will be great. just check the temp as you may have to raise the Rubber maid

[Bartman]

i really dont want to spend money on a temp set up..if what you guys are saying is very important, then hey, i will forsure split them up..but is it a very MUST?

[VooDooMafia]

Well its not a MUST do thing right now but its recommended thats for sure. As for the ppl saying "rubbermaids", I am sure they are meaning use rubbermaids as a perm encloser not a temp one.

You will find rubbermaids a great way to keep them and very easy to clean. Plus when its time to upgrade size you will not need to buy a new tank/lid/bla bla bla just get new rubbermaids and you are good to go.

Rubbermaid and soldering iron(for making the air holes) are a herps best friend(well I am sure I can add a few other things to that list lol).

So IMO get some small rubber maids and if you decide to get "tanks" later atleast you will have a few extra rubbermaids for next time you get something.

[Bartman]

Great point, i didnt think about how much more ill have to spend for upgraded tanks...rubbermaids it is, ill go grab two tomorrow..

thanks everyone!

if your using a lamp dimmer to control the heat, you can use an extension cord and hook up 2 dimmers (just plug the extension in where you would the UTH) not hard,I do it and my temps stay exactly where they are supposed to.

And ya, simon had a post on it, I was going to say something, but wasn't sure if I had the right person in mind or not! lol
