Here's a thread you should read over...

No cage is large enough IMO: one cage = one snake

In this image, both snakes had just hatched, hadn't even shed yet (so obviously no meal was offered), and were dead when found.

thanks. I just want to say something else...

1) That i know of, it is not recorded that an adult corn ate another adult(I could be wrong)
2) Where did you get that photo? It looks fake...

You must have not went to that thread I pointed you to...

Reptiles in general are solitary creatures, and this includes the Cornsnake. They do not get lonely, nor do they want a "friend."

Some issues to consider if you attempt to house more then one in the same enclosure...

- Cannabilisum
- Stress
- Early breeding (can result in death)
- Transmission of parasites/disease

It is highly unlikely that photo is fake. Would you like to see more pictures of snake cannabilisum?

Ask this question to John Cherry at Cherryville farms, who is one of the most respected breeders in the business. He can give you all kinds of insight on different species of snakes and canabalism, to also include a customer that lost a ball python to an adult Cornsnake. It can and does happen. The advice given above is sound advice, and I agree seperate is the way to go. Which direction you choose to take is up to you, but judging by your reply, it sounds like your mind is already made up on what your going to do.

no my mind is not made up at all, especially after seeing that many of you are strongly opinionated about this topic. I was just asking out of curiosity...
