snakes habitat?

Question

I have 2 kingsnakes and 1 corn snake . i know you can only keep one kingsnake in each enclosure . how many corn snakes can you keep in an enclosure ???

Answer 1

While it is definitely possible to keep more than one Corn snake per cage; it is generally not a very good idea.

Most snakes are solitary by nature and get stressed out when they have a cage mate.

However, if you decide to house two corns together anyway; I know several corn snake breeders who keep theirs housed two or three per cage without any ill-effects. It can work out fine to have another corn snake in with them as long as you feed them separately, make sure they have plenty of room, and you don't notice any signs of anxiety on the part of either snake. If you see the snake acting restless, refusing to eat, or in otherwise suddenly taking a turn for the worse, separate them immediately.

As I said earlier, co-habitating snakes is generally not a good idea and I don't recommend it, but it can be done.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Most people suggest 1 snake in each tank and the tanks be small and ventilated. They also suggest no more than 2.

Answer 3

The experts do not recommend cohabbing corn snakes together. It is not natural and is stressful for the snakes. Do a search on the corn snake forum, and you'll get plenty of good insight into this topic.

Answer 4

You can easily keep 2 - 3 corn snakes in one vivarium or whatever you keep them in as long as they are at least very close in size.

Answer 5

same size you COULD keep a few but i wouldnt. they can become agessive but they are usally well tempermented. i have 2 babys in the same cage and no problems yet. but like any reptile you can never tell so i think you could house them together just be careful.

Answer 6

you might want to ask some other web sites be because there are SOOO many different opinion's for different types of snakes.
