Can i house a male and female corn snake together?

Question

I'm going to get to corn snake at the end of the month 1 male 1 female they're both hatchlings. would it be ok to house them together,or nor. as well wot sort of lighting do i need to get.

Answer 1

No not at that age.If there from the same parents then definitely not.You cant breed from the same parents.Also keeping them together at that age they will try and breed to early and you will end up with a dead female .Whatever you do dont house these snakes together,you'll regret it.

You dont need any type of lighting as the natural day/night cycle is all they need.just place the vivs in a room with natural light and that's all they need.If your talking about lighting to provide heat then you need to be using a heat mat or ceramic bulb and not a light bulb.

Answer 2

Already answered on your other post

Answer 3

not unless you want 2 stressed out snakes! or even one live one!

Answer 4

You could end up with two stressed reptiles which both end up sick, or a single snake, because one has eaten the other.

Snakes should only be put together for breeding, and closely monitored.  Once breeding is complete, the male should be removed (or female, depending).

I hope this has been helpful, and enjoy your new snake.

Answer 5

as it is stated in your last post u shouldt house any snakes together except when breeding

Answer 6

No.

I don't have any experience with them myself - but my local reptile shop actually breeds their own snakes.

They have lots of cornsnakes and they house them all in their own enclosures, even the tiny babies.

Lets face it - if a pet shop puts in the effort and space to house them separately then it because they MUST be.

All the lizards and things they couldn't care less about and stick them where ever they can, but they certainly know and care about their snakes.

Answer 7

i have a young royal python and use a ceramic bulb for heat (with a mesh guard around for obvious reasons) alot of people use heat mats and alot of people are against it. personally i dont see a problem with heat mats aslong as they are used correctly. or they could injure your snake if not. and housing snakes together is not a good idea. especially when young. like people have sed this will stress out the snakes. at any age you would have to closely moniter two snakes together and see how they get on and definatley feed seperatley. people do house two of the same kind of snakes together and all live hapily. but yeh expect baby snakes lol

Answer 8

yes they will be fien together but be carefull with hatchlings as they can become stressed pretty easily, make sure you do not feed them 2gther though, take them out of the tank and feed in separate containers.your snakes should be fine together. i dont think breed of corn matters.you dont need any lighting for baby corn snakes, jus a heat mat at the one end of the tank, (underneath it.) your pet shop will provide yu with an adequate tank as corns are naturally agraphobic, esp babies so yuo dont want to stress them out 2 much.

there are lots of care sheets availiable, jus search for caorn snake care and they will tell you all you need to kno

Answer 9

If they're the same breed of corn

Answer 10

iF YOU WANT TO bUT EXPECT BABY SNAKES
