Should do fine for a corn but tou shouldnt house them together, there are reports of cannibalism and from experience housing two together can lead to issues of aggression and competition between the snakes

hmmmm the aquarium is so big , i think they have alot of space

You have 2 very nice snakes. I would heed Rob's wise words and not house your corns together.

Against the advice of this forum i housed two corns in a 4x2x2 foot vivarium with loads of hides etc so that they had plenty of individual places to hide. They were both babies and only about ten inches long each so the viv seemed HUGE

Luckily i was home the day that one turned on the other and managed to get them separated before any damage was done to either snake.

Yes, there is evidence of people successfully housing corns together for twenty years with no issue, but then there is evidence of one corn eating another given the opportunity.............

Hi Luis,

is the light in the terrarium? Get it out and put it on top of the cover with some cm distance to the mesh. The bulb can get hot enough to burn your snakes if they get in contact with it. If you put it directly on the cover, the snakes could still get hurt if they flicker their tongues through the mesh, that's why you should have some cm as a safety distance.

Add some branches because corn snakes like to climb.

Otherwise the terrarium looks OK.

Check the temperatures under the hot spot, under your hides and at the cool side.

@Lankyrob - you experienced a negative example, a friend of mine kept corn snakes of all sizes in pairs without any bad experiences what so ever. Neither juveniles nor semiadults or adults did harm each other. I have no personal experience with corn snakes myself but the only incidents I heard of had been feeding accidents.

@Luis - I would separate them during feeding. I don't think that you have to get them outside the terrarium, just put a divider in like a cardboard big enought that both of them can't see each other until both have finished their meal.

I'd say the aquarium is a bit bare for that size, housing small cornsnakes. I'd fill it up with branches, logs, more plants and more hides.

Luis_Gil · 03-06-14, 12:33 PM
