is it too much to keep 2 young snakes in a 3' by 1' tank? neither snake being over 1' long. or should i get another tank if i get a second snake?

I'm going to direct you there.

If you can't afford another tank you may consider dividing the one you currently have. Or taking the time to build your own. Check out the DIY sub-section.

Sadly it's never a good idea to co-hab, even temporarily, even for very young snakes. The pictures I've seen of "cannibal corns" have always been hatchlings or very young snakes. Sad but true

This question keeps popping up. Do you think we can see some of those cannibalistic pictures and maybe direct people to see them when asked?
