technically you can, but there is a danger of doing so. IN the wild snakes are soliatry creatures for the most part. Even some of the calmest snakes that have lived together for years suddenly turn on one another. I have seen pictures on forums dealing with cornsnakes where one has eaten the other. Usually what happens then is that the "winning" snake regurgitates the loser and they both end up dying. Eventhough you can do it, I wouldn't recommend it. If you do, no less than a 40 gallon tank and make sure there are enough hides and the heat area is big enough so they can have their own space.
Personally, I wouldn't do it. I would go with getting them each a 20 gallon tank, but that is just me. Some have housed them together to where it hasn't been a problem. Yet I just haven't wanted to take that chance.

Yes, corn snakes can be housed together. If they have never met, watch them and examine them regularly to make sure they are getting along. As for the dimensions, just make sure they can coil and not be squished and they can stretch all the way out and not be squished. Corn snakes like to move around and climb, so make sure they can "go up" on branches, etc.

you are able to, yet i don't propose you do it. sickness would be unfold quikly between the two. in the event that they're on the subject of a similar length and the cage is super sufficient than sure, they may well be housed mutually. be effective to feed them in distinctive bins to dodge them scuffling with over nutrition, however.

yes, as long as they are the same size, if they are full grown, i would say no smaller than like a 35 gallon tank, be sure to have saghum(think hats how its spelled) moss to allow them to burrow through.
