Advice wanted - keeping corns with non-corn species

Simon Appleby Jul 01, 2003 09:35 AM

I have a friend (and no, this is not my way of asking a stupid question without looking stupid who wants to get a newly hatched corn, and intends to keep it in the same enclosure as a ribbon snake (not yet fully grown, about 4 months old at present).

I think this is probably a bad idea, and that one or other of them will get stressed out (even though they eat different types of food). Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences of keeping corns with ribbons or other similar species that would be useful? I would be happy to be proved wrong about this!
