Housing Them Together

I have just been looking through the forum and found the housing together posts quite interesting.

I agree that snakes can be housed together as recently I inherited 4 snakes of which I believe 2 are corn snakes (so ive been told), one 'Sand boa' and something else....my mate recons its a milk snake.

They are all different sizes and lenghths but when i got them they were all in individual small glass tanks, I didn't really have room for all of them so I got an old fishtank off my uncle and put them together in there on woodchips and bought a heatmat for under the glass.

I'd like some good info on feeding techiques etc aswell as I have tried to feed them twice but the smaller ones never seem to have any left.

any replies would be Great!! :wavey:

if you feed them all the same day, then keep them seperated for at least 30 minutes. If you feed them seperate, which I do, this way you will know what one went to the bathroom when, and if there is a regurge, and you havn't fed one for like a week, and you just fed the ohter one 3 days ago, or whatever, you will more likely know who had the problem. anywya, that should work, just please no one respond saying how bad or good it is housing corns together, this has been done too much, we all know now that we have differnt opinions and what we all do works fine for us. that's all.

oh wait wait wait, are you sayign you have 2 corns, a sand boa and whatever else all together? I thought you just meant the corns. If you do have a boa with these, do not keep it with them, Bad idea. One, it's not the same kind of snake, which is bad, it will get considerably bigger faster, yea just get a different viv for it, if it is still small, just get a 10 gallon if you dont have the money right now, but eventually get it in it's own enclosure, wow, yea dont keep that boa with the corns, you can keep the corns together, and should be fine if you feed them how I said, but find out what that fourth snake is too. only keep the corns together if you are going to keep any together.

darkpbstar sand boa's wont outgrow a corn snake as they average 2-3ft long.
But yeah, if you intend on keeping 2 or more snakes together, please stick to the same varity of snake (2 corn's, 2 sand boa etc, and not mix them as a 3ft sand boa will eat a 3ft corn).
Have a look here for more detail's

yes but don't sand boas get a lot thicker. This way it would be easier to take down a corn.
