Do corn snakes like to live with other corn snakes?

Answer 1

Nothing. Snakes are solitary animals that only come together to breed.

Forcing snakes to live together can cause several problems:

1. stress due to one snake trying to be dominate over the other snake. this snake will take most of the food and the hides it likes. the other will be very stressed and as a result have reduced immune system functionality, eat less, and not be very happy.

2. cannibalism. while not common in all species, it does in fact happen with nearly all species. all it takes is for one to mistake the other as food and eat it, and then possibly die due to the size of the meal. is it really worth the risk?

3. disease and parasite transfer between the snakes. if snakes are housed together, any parasites or diseases that one has, the other will also get. if one gets sick, then you've doubled your vet bills.

all this risk for what? it doesn't really save money, tanks and supplies are cheap.

all it saves is a few cubic feet of shelf space.

Answer 2

No, they should always be housed separately, they are wholly independent animals. Housing them together causes them stress and can result in cannibalism in extreme cases. You would also be unable to properly track the health of each individual if they're housed together.

Answer 3

No it can not, it is a predator and should be caged alone with the exception of breeding.

Answer 4

No ! You should never mix species that would not normally be found together naturally !

Answer 5

no they cant
