Both in the same tank?

So that you all know I am new to the site and the wonderfull world of snakes. I have searched the site and read what everyone has to say previously on the subject but my question is a bit different.
At the shop where I got my new lil lady they house multipal corns of the same age and sex together due to space purposes. My baby had been living in harmony with others for about a month. "No problems" according to the shop "expert". When I was choosing between the snakes I fell in love with a normal corn female and an albino female corn. I chose the albino, but after sleeping on the issue want to go back and purchase the normal as well. Space is limited on my end so they would both be living in the same 20gal tank. So my question is??? If they have grown up together, and are both female, and I have NO intention to EVER mate them with other corns; what would be the draw back?
Please dont flame the noob?
Thanks

Just say no. If you search "cohabitation" you will find a multitude of reasons why not to house snakes together. You will find people who _do_ house them together, and haven't had a problem....yet. There is no problem with cohabitation till there's a problem!! You will not be able to find one example of how housing snakes together benefits the snakes themselves, not the owner. It is done as a matter of convenience, as a way to keep more animals than you have room to provide proper housing for. End of story.

Two ten gallons turned sideways take up exactly the same amount of space length wise as a 20 gallon high, and less space than a 20 gallon long. If you can't afford or don't have the space for seperate tanks for each of your snakes, do the snakes a favor and don't buy the second one.

You could always try doing something like this: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72880

I'm not sure the exact measurements, but it would fit your corns for life (I would recommend dividing say the top half until they're bigger. A baby corn doesn't need the whole thing to itself), houses two, and shouldn't take up too much space. It's also not very expensive to make, either.

It's something to look into at any rate.

thanks

Thank yall for your input. I still want the other lil lady ,but I will hold off.

i have a 60 gal tanks for my leopard geckos and i went to the store and baught the clear apoxy and had my friend cut me a piece of wood and i divided it in half. it works great and looks good and doesnt take up room. maybe you can give that a try

They can live in rubbermaid bins just fine, drill some holes and stick a heating pad on the bottom and your done. I do like the one I have - I put a luggage strap around it for extra security. A cheap solution.

I would NEVER co-hab after hearing stories and useing my common sense. Snakes don't co-hab in the wild, you don't know who is sick if one is regurging, you'd never know if one had an impaction, one could be mis-sexed (it happens to experts even, and you don't know the skill level of the person who decided it was a girl) and if they breed too young there are risks with that. In short, nanci is right. Lots of risks to the snake only to benefit the keeper, kind of selfish imo.

Besides, you might decide you want a cooler morph in the future. Butter mot? Hypo lav? It could happen.
