Hi I have just bought a new Corn. She/he is a beauty. A little bigger than my other corn but not much. I just don't know what sex either my corns are and I wanted to house them together eventually (once I have seen if the new one is healthy etc..). Theres no way to find out over here, nobody knows, you just hope for the best. Is it true that their tails are longer in males?? My 2 have similar size tails. Do they usually get along ok when you put them together at first? My corn hasn't had another with it in 2 years. I can't wait to see them together. Will I have to stand over them at first to make sure they don't fight or anything?
Is there a specific time of year for mating? How do you know when they have eggs???? This is all very new to me, I must get reading your site about it tonight.
Thanks :wavey:

Use the search button....

As there are many threads on this topic. You will get a few yes's and many no's. From what I've read there are quite a few reasons for the no's, for example cannibalism can occur, I've seen photos, it isn't nice. Another is pin-pointing which animal regurged, if it occurs. Sure there's many more aswell.
 
Here's a good reason not to house them in "community houseing" ....

This year rather than introduce my one male (as I thought) to my three females one at a time, I just put all four in a very large display vivarium in my living room. I figured they would get around to "doing the deed" when they felt like it. And sure enough, five months later, two of them were looking like they wanted to lay eggs. After a time though, I began to wonder why the third "female" hadn't laid any eggs. Then when the first clutch hatched it became obvious why.... she was a HE. So now the entire year's breeding (such as it is) is "ruined" in that I didn't get the actual pairing I wanted.

So, this is just ONE MORE REASON, NOT to have a community tank.

Next year it's supervised mating or NO mating! No more group garbage.
