Housing two corns?

[Alicia Marie]

Hey everyone. . . I was wondering. . . would it be okay to house two corns from the same breeder that are the same size in the same tank temporarily? Probably for about 2 weeks while I finish constructing my other larger enclosure. We have an expo coming to town, which is a first, and Hanny's corns will be there. I really wanna get a couple, but I still have a little work to do on my other set up. I know this is not recommended, but it will only be for a short while. Please help.

Why not just set up two tubs for them until their enclosures are ready? Only cost a few dollars each...

I already have a 10 gallon tank ready, and I have no clue where to get a tub. . . i live in winnipeg, Manitoba. . . supply selection is slim to none

Can you divide the tub? I don't know if anything bad will happen if they are only together for a short while, but to me it's not worth the risk.

Rubbermaid/sterilite type tubs would work. Walmart, or something similar should have plenty of them. Just be sure to ventilate them. From the sound of it they're babies, so a shoe box size should be plenty big enough i would think. Shouldnt be more than a few dollars each.

Just find some to temporly house both snakes in different containers/tanks. They have been known to Cannibalistic WHEN housed together in places where they can't get away from. Most people believe they do it because of the stress and compettion.... so you really don't even want to risk that! It's not a pretty thing at all:

Snake #1

Snake #2
