    Corn Snake In A BP Rack?

    I had been looking around on youtube and found a Video where someone was keeping a Corn Snake in a Ball Python rack? Is this possible? I was just wondering

    You could, I'm not too familiar with Colubrids. I'd be concerned with the temps being off but yeah you could put them in the same rack

    Yes, as long as the tub was large enough to provide a decent gradient since corn snakes like to run a little cooler.

    I think it was a VE-2 rack they were using(with only two tubs, not multiple smaller tubs) And my question was more geared towards if it was possible because of the temps

    Re: Corn Snake In A BP Rack?

    I think it would be an issue because of temps.

    Cool spot for corns, 75-78, ambient temp around 78-82, warm spot 84-87.

    BP's want 90ish hot spots with nothing below 78-80 and even warmer ambient temps.

    The heat can stress a corn out.

    Just my two cents.

    However, if, as some have mentioned, you can provide a gradient and lower temps, I don't see that it would be an issue.
