New corn

Hello, I have just wandered into these forums this week after buying my first corn.. an Okeetee Corn if you havent guessed :D
I have my snake in a 30 gal, and he is 2.5 in length as far as the age, i dont know. I was talking with a co-worker and he stated we have two 3 year old corn snakes coming into the store as a donation to be adopted out.. Is it okay for this younger corn to be with the older ones? One is an albino, but they arent sure they just said it had pink eyes when they got it... and the other is a charcoal corn. If I got one or the other it would go in with my okeetee corn, but i am also wondering what i could do for more hiding spots.. my okeetee loves the claypot, and then there is also a half log... no plants yet and the water bowl.

the temp ranges 78 on one side and 72 on the water bowl side.. is that fine as well? UTH is on one side... towards the middle
 
Temps could stand to be raised about 5-6 degrees (82-85 on the warm side is optimal). Try to keep the heat source isolated on one end and away from the middle. This will help create a thermal gradient within the tank, allowing the snake to seek out the most comfortable temperature.

Use the forum's search function to look for old threads regarding housing corns together; there are several dozen. The general consensus of most breeders, vets and experienced herpers is that snakes should be housed separately.

Try and find a copy of Kathy Love's "Cornsnake Manual". It will answer most of you husbandry questions.
 
I house my snakes together, but feed them seperately since thats the only issue I think. Having one exuberant snake eat all the mice/rats and the other(s) starve. My snakes got along fine since they were babies and it turns out they were male and female and I have been getting 2-3 clutches of eggs a year.
