I keep saving your money and get a nice carpet python. Also you shouldn't keep snake together. The only time snake should be kept together is when breeding. I won't say names but, someone on here use to keep two male corn together until one started bulling the other one. Some people do it and never have a problem, but why chance having one hurt or even kill the other. Plus it put stress on you snake. Which can make them more jumpy or more aggressive.

i would separate the corns from each other. all snakes really need to have their own tank (except garters can be kept together). as for a new snake, for 70 bucks a corn is all you are going to be able to get unless you can get to a reptile show. even then your options are limited to a rtb, corns, kings, hogs, and a few ball pythons. no fancy morphs though, which is not a bad thing, but if you only have one tank you need to separate the corns before you get a new snake

I agree with marvel (and probably Shaun and Kim when they check this thread) Saving for a carpet is a good idea. Great snakes ranging fron 5 to 9 ft depending on species, but awesome curious, docile snakes. Watch out though, they are addictive.

I would save your money for a nice Jungle Carpet. For $70 you can get a corn, normal bp, kings, or some other type of colubrid. In my opinion Carpet Pythons are the best snakes. They are just awesome snakes to keep and work with.

i do not see a need to seperate they are doin perfectly fine how they are doin several years old and been together for atleast couple years and whats better king snake like a baha or carpet what sizes do they get to

[ineedsoap16]

I have a black mexican king and four carpets. The carpets get muck larger (my coastals 6-9ft) but are much more handleable, friendly and curious than the small king. As said on this before, carpets get under your skin and tend to stick. I'm biased but they really are great.

so quick question what other snakess can get housed together without much a problem

[ineedsoap16]

Many people here have a lot more experience than me, but I'm pretty sure it's not a good idea to house any snakes together. I don't. If not for aggression, feeding, or stress, when you see a bad poo in the substrate, which one is it? When there is a regurge on the floor who's was it. It's just not a good idea.
