Petstore trade.

The story.

About 2 months ago my female rosy boa gave birth to 5 babies. I kept 1 and traded 4 to a petstore for 2 beautiful baby cornsnakes born early this year and 1 of those square reptariums with the 2 doors on the front. They say I can keep them together as babies but as adults they have to be split up? Is it worth keeping them together with the risk? I keep my rosy pair together but that is soon to change as I am changing my room alot and building a bunch of stackable custom enclosures out of wood. They are keeping them in a shelving system with critter keepers with spiders, small geckos and them. Is this warm enough for them? Im gonna see if the petshop will feed them tommowrow to see if they have a good feeding responce. I also held them and they were very active. Do you think they are sexable?

Anyways. I researched them and im getting them tommowrow. I will post pics

Thanks

Baby corns are sexable. They are usually sexed by popping as opposed to probing. Snakes should never be kept together except for breeding purposes, for a variety of reasons I won't go into. Baby colubrids especially need to be alone, because there have been many instances of cannibalism. Adult corns almost never cannalize one another, but it is much more of a risk when they are neos. As for keeping them on the rack with a variety of animals: if the temps are correct for all the species, it's fine to put them all on the same rack. If they have different heat requirements, they can still be on the same rack but you'll need another thermostat.

You shouldn't mix species.
