Yes. My corn snakes love each other. One is about 10" shorter then the other. I have kept a 28" corn with a 10" corn, and the younger one follows the older one around. They will sleep together the first night you put them together. They are social snakes and they love the company of other corn snakes.

they are not likely to get on at first but its not much chance they will eat each other and if they look like they are not getting on after two days or more then get a new tank for one of your corn snakes so they dont fight and hurt each other ^ - ^ i hope i helped you

Most Snakes are solitary.

Some Are not solitary.

You should not house them together. Corn Snakes are solitary animals. And plus both males would fight when they are mature. And they would get stressed out.

I know some friends that had 2 corns that were the same size in 1 tank. And guess what happened. One dissapeared.

So its a good idea to seperate them.

drag 737 has a very good explination. It is possible but there are risks. If you do, you always want to be prepared to put one in a seperate enclosure if necessary.

It is possible but you want to keep a close eye on them because Corn snakes arent social creatures, and it can be very dangerous to keep 2 of different ages and genders together. 2 males will fight over territory and a male and female can prebreed resulting in the females death during pregnacy if she is too small. Corn snakes have been know to eat eachother quite often. It is safest to go with 2 cages or a divider in the middle of the original cage.
