I have a 5-6 year old snow corn and want to get a male to put into her cage. She's about 4 feet, how big of a male should I get? Its hard to come by a large male for sale...is it okay if he's a lot smaller?

Thanks

I wouldn't risk it. You need snakes the same size if you're going to house them together. Buy a juvenile and grow it on, then introduce them when he reaches the ame size as her.

As far as breeding goes, yes, a much smaller male, say 30", would probably breed successfuly with her. If you want to keep them together, I'd aim for one her size.

Ah, I'd made the "living together" assumption - thanks for picking that up Matt.
