but I dont have room for a second tank...

I have mine in a 55 gallon tank, well heated, great space, but there is a guy in my area that needs to get rid of his, and my question is, would they get along?

They are both males, both about the same size, and temprament.

But would they cohabitate? or am I lookig at trouble?

I dont want to adopt the second one if I cant house it. I have corns living in the same enclosure but they have been together since I got them.

What do you think?

i do not like to house multiple snakes together. there are many reasons, illness and feeding problems are some of them. to me it is more hassle then it is worth. additionally in my opinion you are asking for trouble introducing an adopted snake into the cage of your current pet without a proper quarantine.

Yeah, thats what I thought, but really didnt know.. I knew there were folks here with better answers than I could come up with ...

I appreciate your concern, and I will probably pass on this guy.

Thanks...
