It is actually more work to keep multiple snakes in a single enclosure. You'll find that out if you do it. And if you do decide to go this route, use a larger cage than you would for one snake.

It is better to have as many snakes as you have (or can fit) cages. If you really only have room for a few cages, then you ideally should have only a few snakes. In a perfect world.

Cornsnakes can be kept together, but because they get to a decent size as adults (like 4ft), you'll need an appropriately sized cage. Figure about 2.5 sq ft per cornsnake minimum.
