Hi, and welcome. We seem to get this question quite often. Most people do not like housing snakes together. I think it is ok until they are about 8-9 months old. I seperate them before a year so that i do not get any accidental breeding. This is only OK to me, if you keep a close eye on each snake and seperate them as soon as you see an issue of any kind. Draybar has a long note explaining things, that is good and he will post for you, I am sure.





Reasons not to house them together.....I hope I remember to include them all.

1. if one gets sick, it will get the other sick

2. If one regurges, you wont know which one

3 It could be very stressful for the snakes

4 You could end up with babies

5 you could end up with babies too soon and stunt the female

6 if for some reason one gets out, they all will

7 (this may be kinda a stretch) but the more snakes you have in one tank, the bigger the tank must be. I have single corns in a 20 gal long, pairs in a 40 (I don't do more than pairs of the same sex)



I can't think of any more at the present. Kinda rushed for time, but I am sure others will throw some more at you.



I think it is best to get some kind of stacking system and house them seperately.

Good luck
