I don't know if there is any difference between males and females as far as being aggressive to each other goes. But I for one know that my two female corns hate each other and if I were to house them together I believe they would try and kill one another. I've had them both out at the same time before and they get real intent on each other. I also know it isn't a sexual thing as the little one is only a few months old. I think it's more like the big one wants to see what the little one taste like.

Death Match! Battle: Corn Snake!! :dancer: :dancer:

Actually when corns "fight", if you can call it that. It's more of a pushing thing, where one tries to push the other down. I don't know if they actually battle to the death?!?! :shrugs:

I dunno but I can bet it would be a pretty stressful situation. As for my girls there is a size difference and I believe the bigger one would eat the smaller one.
 
Fact : No snake has ever been killed or injured from being housed alone.

While death and injury from being co habbed is a rarity, it can happen.
Bottom line, if you love your animals, don't put them in harm's way.

Stressful, definitely!

You have to understand that there is a big difference between eating and fighting. Corns don't eat each other in the throws of "battle". They eat their food, avoid each other if they can and if it's a territorial thing, then there is a head pushing match.

Yeah I know she wouldn't eat her while fighting. I'm just saying she would see the smaller one as food due to the size difference. When the yearling sees the baby she gets intent on her like she does with her food. The little one freezes too but then turns tail like she doesn't want anywhere near the other girl.

To me that seems a clear sign they don't want company.
