Can I keep multiple corns together?

I've heard of some people keeping multiple corns together, and was wondering if thats common and easy to do, as long as I do not feed them together?

I know that in many cases with other snakes, it's not a good thing to do but with each snake comes a diffrent personality from them, as well as the snakes in general.
 
i dont do it often, but have never had problems when ihave done.
i know of people that have had the odd one eaten though. its not something i do often.
 
well perhaps I should have asked this ? instead

when pet shops, or expos house snakes together, why do you never see one of the other snakes get eaten?

If I were to do this, it'd only be me keeping them together as babies for a short amount of time.

but I guess with every snake, comes the same rule, which is they cannot be kept together, as they'll often be cannablistic, unless during breeding?

Most pet stores suck and have no idea how to keep reptiles. They pile snakes into cages that are too small and have many because they can maximize space and sales that way.

I've never seen anyone at an expo selling snakes that has two hatchlings in one deli cup together.

It's a generally poor idea. If you can't afford two seperate cages then you don't need to purchase the second snake.
 
I know, I just read Kathy Love's post on another thread and came to realise that hatchlings being kept together, will almost always be a negitive thing, and that if it will be done, its best to do it with older snakes, that are already eatting good, and such.

I've never seen anyone at an expo selling snakes that has two hatchlings in one deli cup together, either I was thinking about the adults that were being kept together though.

I know, and I can afford a few more seprate cages, and will have three more empty cages soon, as I am building a rack for my BCI's.

the main reason for me asking about cohab. with corns, was because as I am used to BCI's and such Keeping 2 in a cohab would be a NEVER IMO, and I thought that it sounded pretty cool to do, before I came to realise that GENERALLY keeping ANY group of snakes together should be avoided, although it may sometimes be done, it's not worth the risks that come along.
