Corn and king?

FreedomDove Jun 16, 2009 05:23 PM

I have 2 albino male corns that are 8 years old. They are in a 8'x2'x3' display cage. I am wondering if an adult black mexican king would be ok to house with them? Thanks in advance.

to expand on Jimmy's thoughts-
they will eat snakes larger than themselves as well. I have also seen a king kill a snake tat it couldnt eat. Territory, maybe? I don't know

Hi
If the timing is right it can work for breeding, but to just try to house them together as cage mates will give you one nicely fed king.
