Corn Husbadry

[blk02ssmonte]

I have 9 bp`s and 1 corn. I would like to put my corn in the same room with my bp`s. Now the room for the bp`s is kept at 85-86. Can I keep my corn in the same room? Either a tank or a tub? I have all my bp`s in tubs but my corn is in a 20L right now, but in my living room which I have the ac on and it stays at 76. I have heat for the corn and he eats regularly and sheds regularly and all one piece. So thoughts? TIA

I haven't kept Corn Snakes but 85 constant sounds a little too warm. Frankly it sounds like overkill for a Ball Python room in my opinion (I know some people prefer this), The snakes will do everything they need to do just fine at 80 degrees.

If you want to keep them in the same room I might try dropping the BP room to 80 and move the Corn Snake in there and see how it does.

I keep my colubrids with ambient temps in the low-mid 70's. Their hot spots are 84-86ish.

I kept a corn snake for 18 years in my snake room alongside assorted pythons. I live in south Florida, part of corn snake's natural range, and the snake room enjoys the same temps/humidity as the outdoors. Which means winter time high temps dipping into the low 70s and summertime temps hitting upper 80s with 60% humidity for months on end. The snake did well and never had any health issues at all.
