Shaky Snake?

l0co Dec 02, 2005 02:31 PM

I've just introduced a ( -)80cm Corn snake into my terrarium, where I house my Albino corn of the same size. Neither of the snakes are sexed. They both seem a bit uptight, which I guess is normal for the beginning, but what I did find strange is that my albino will place the length of his body over the new snake, and give these fast little jerks with his body repeatedly. I'm not too worried, but if anyone could give me any insight as to why he is behaving this way, I'd appreciate it greatly.

By the way, the setup is: 80x30x40cm terrarium with terra cotta wood chips. I keep the temp at about 23c and there are ample hides on both the hot and cool sides.

Thanks in advance

You shouldn't housed corn snake together, You will end up with either one fat snake or eggs that you don't want. Buy another viv before you have more problems.
