<3 Corn Snakes
This happened a couple days ago, so I'm calmer about it now. And first-off, this didn't happen to me! I've only got the one snake, and I really like to think I'm not thick enough to put two in one viv even if I did have two!
An online friend of mine has cornsnakes, and apparently the other day he had quite a scare. Apparently he was feeding his two corns. Now, I didn't know he kept them together else I'd have chewed him out on it long before this, but from what I gather one is older/larger than the other.
He fed them in their cage (a personal no-no for me) and together, without taking one out and letting his fiancee handle it for a bit. As you can probably tell, things went wrong. Each snake latched on to a different end of the pinkie and, as you can expect, the bigger snake started to eat the smaller one.
I didn't ask him how he got them separated, but once I'd ascertained that the smaller snake wasn't the dinner of the larger I gave him probably one of the fiercer online text-lashings I've ever given someone!
Keeping two cornsnakes together is one thing. FEEDING them together is completely another. I told him that if it was within his means to do so, then get a tank for each snake, and that if I have to march down to the States and force him to buy a $5 plastic container to put each snake in when they're being fed then I'll bloody well do it!
