i just separated my two 3 year old snakes and ever since that the one has been SUPER active and rearanges the cage ALL the time. I don't ever think i've seen him lay still even once! Is this unusual? Well, i know its unusual but it is a bad unusual or a normal unusual?
 
Well since you housed the snakes together for so long, what probably happened was one became the dominate snake and the other was more intimidated by this other snake. Since you have now spli them up into their own cages, the intimidated one isn't intimidated any more so he wants to explore more and look at the new scenery. This is general behavior for when you change enclosures for snakes. Usually they will venture around a good bit and see what all is going on. He might feel more secure now and want to move around even more. I think this is a good thing because now he isn't intimidated and feels free to explore.
 
hmm that sounds really good and I would completely agree with you. The really weird thing is though that the littler snake is the one I took out of the enclosure and put in a completely new environment. He is now perfectly happy and isn't moving around anymore than he used to. He definitely is not the dominant one. He's always been substantially smaller and my girl was chasing him all around the cage before I separated them. I left her in her original cage though and she's all over the place.

. . . I don't suppose she could be pregnant could she? I know it is possible since they were both together for so long but I didn't think they acted like that when they were pregnant.

Thanks so much for the help :)
 
I don't really know too much about the breeding of corns, but it is definately possible snce they can reach sexual maturity at like 2-2 1/2 years. She might be looking for him to see where he went to as well. She wants to know where her friend went to, but I definately think it is good that you separated them.
