You should have a 10 or 20 gallon for each baby and a 20 gallon for adults. Cohabiting is not recommended due to stress and the small possibility of cannibalism. It is not natural for snakes to live closely together.

Keeping two corn snakes together is fine, but you should always separate them at feeding time. If two corn snakes seize the same mouse, whether alive or frozen, they will instantly wrap around both the mouse and one another. A corn snake will not normally release its jaws from an intended meal that it is constricting until after the prey has ceased moving. If two snakes have the same mouse, each will feel the other struggling and both will tenaciously refuse to release their grip. Prevent this from happening at all cost.
A 20gal tank will be fine for now.

The 20 gallon will be fine for two babies. I had one in a 5 gallon for 6 months. Then went to a 20 gallon.

Do not let your snakes co-exist. Some people say its ok but letting your snakes co-exist in the same cage is just asking for trouble disease wise.
For a baby corn a 5 gal will do just fine.
For an adult corn you could get a 20 gal long tank and they will suffice.

yeah thats good cause you know that they wont get much bigger. A 20-30 gallon is fine. As long as they have room to move around and lots of hiding places and a warm envirment youre good. Waht a smart reptile mommie you are yay! most people arnt as good with this stuff and end up killing their new pets. Cool!!

I customarily trust Bo. I even have 2 and that they are quite youthful nonetheless. One is very almost 2 ft in length, and one is slightly over a foot. they did not truly trust one yet another for the 1st week or so, yet my roommate and that i found out if we feed them one after the different, they get alongside great. additionally, on condition that they're nonetheless youthful, we save them in a 20gal. yet whilst they get larger we are able to positioned them in a tank that ideal suites them. So in case you opt for to maintain 2, as long as they're an analogous species and comparatively close to to an analogous length, it won't be a issue.attempt a 20gal. and confirm you have a minimum of two hiding spots so as that each and every could have their very own area.merely be confident you attempt and feed them one after the different. . good luck =]
