Can you keep two female corn snakes and a male corn snake together in the same tank?

No reason why not - provided (a) the vivarium is large enough to accommodate three snakes and (b) there are enough hiding places to provide each snake with its own privacy area. Bearing in mid corn snakes can top 72 inches at adult size - you would need a vivarium measuring 72 by 36 by 36 inches minimum !


Can a baby corn snake be housed in a 55 gallon Tank?

its possible but corn snakes ideally need a wooden vivarium to keep the heat in and because its a baby corn you will need a lot of decorum (shelters, plants, hides ect.) because corn snakes love to be under/inside things and especially if you house the corn in the glass tank it will need alot of hiding places to make it feel safe and also will need to be placed in an area that doesnt have alot of movement outside because corn snakes are quite shy. hope that helped :)


Do corn snake need a heating pad?

Yes, corn snakes do need a source opf heat in their tank to keep their body temperature high enough, (75-80 degrees f). but heating pads aren't the best thing for the snakes because if it gets too hot, it will burn the snake as they do not have senses in theire scales. A heating lamp is a much better alternative.

Can corn snakes live in pairs?

It is unadvisable to house multiple Corn Snakes together, but many owners do without any problems. It is a big ongoing debate into the pros and cons of housing together, but really it is all down to personal choice whether you choose to house your Corn snakes together or not. The dangers for housing together include the chance of cannibalism (especially in younger Corn snakes), early or unexpected breeding, stress in one or all of the Corn snakes and even disease passing from one Corn snake to the other and doubling your vet bills. If you do decide to house your corn snakes together in one vivarium it is important that both snakes are of a similar size, preferably adults. You will also need to add twice as many hides to the vivarium to ensure that one snake does not dominate the best hiding spots, which would cause stress to the other. You should feed separately and be ready for if breeding occurs. I would also advise having a spare RUB (Really Useful Box- plastic tub with air holes added to it), heat mat and thermostat handy, just in case problems arise and you need to separate your Corn snakes quickly.
