For those that keep asking if you can keep corns together!!!

John Q Aug 23, 2003 11:29 AM

Well, the pictures say it all. Yes, you can keep corns together but there is always a risk. I have kept them together as hatchlings, sub-adults, and adults. However, I always separate them at feeding time and for a short time after feeding. In this case, I had several hatchling F2 okeetees together and put off feeding for a day to take care of some shipments. This one hatchling just decided that it was hungry now and didn't want to wait. It's sibling was just as tasty as frozen thawed pinky.

A little extra info: They are about a month old, have eaten a couple of meals, frozen thawed pinks, and have not been through their second shed.

I've heard many times that with cannibalistic corns, most don't live after eating such a huge meal. Good luck!

Would keeping him a little bit warmer than usual help with digestion?

eating another corn certainly gives the snake an interesting shape...

It surprises me how many people want to put animals together in a small cage (compared to the great outdoors) when in the wild they do not live together at all, except to mate.
