wow that was a fast reponse thanks.i have a honduran about 2 years old was just thinkin if i could do that.i keep my five corn adults together,have been for 7 years or more.thanks

Corns are more gregarious.. they don't seem to mind as much when kept in groups as long as they have some room.

Milksnakes are not as easy-going.

I've kept pairs together Male/Female and Female/Female w/o problems (Sinaloans). I've also raised some hatchling (same clutch) baby Sinaloans together for about a year w/o problems. But those are Sinaloans. Maybe I got lucky, but I've seen other breeders keep all sorts of milks together (male/female) w/o problem.

IMO, triangulum are not the ravenous snake eaters that getula are (but triangulum can eat snakes, so there is always risk.)

I definitely brumated them together.

I've kept same size adults together for years without problems and so have freinds. I would use caution initially and monitor closely. Bob Applegate has been very successful at it.I always fed in seperate containers and only put them back when they calmed down.

I did have a very eating aggressive pair of Mexican milks, I never felt that I could try that with them though. Good luck. :0

i keep my tangerine hondurans together in pairs. both my pairs are yearlings.

agreed;no they're not quite like getula kings,but i have bred triangulum,and the similar mexicana species,with no problems regarding cannibalism.....but i temporarily housed a few babies together,which is when a baby eastern milk tried to eat a baby scarlet king(luckily i was working with them at that exact moment,and was had to gently pull them apart-very stressful for me,not to mention the snakes!
