Snake seperation problems?
A month or so back, I purchased a young corn snake hatchling, and a few weeks ago, I purchased another.
I've kept them in the same enclosure ever since buying the younger one because I was building a custom one for my older snake and it was taking a lot of time and money.
But the project went haywire because I messed it up, so I just bought a large 20 gallon and added the heater, aspen, hide, ect. All the things my darling would need.
So around 6 days ago, I moved him into the cage, and 2 days ago I tried feeding him /It was his feeding day/, and he -refused- to eat, or even be handled. He wouldn't come out of his hide. It was almost as if he was depressed. So I moved my younger snake back in with him, and today, he happily ate and was back to being social and loving like he was before.
So it seems my albino corn snake, Salazar, has separation issues when I separate him from my younger corn, Malik.
They're both males, so no accidental breeding could happen. Plus Salazar is barely 2 months old.
But I don't want him to grow to be 5 or so feet and have to get a huge custom tank because he wants to be in the same cage as a 3-4 foot snake.
Any advice, fellow snake lovers? This snake mom is very worried for her darlings. : (
