 Corn Snake Question

generaly yes it depends if they fight or if they just dnt bother each other not rlly much the age or size but u should keep the sizes relatively the same but you should post on corn snake not burmese python but as long as they get along and near the same size they should be fine together i have my male and female boas in the same tank and they are fine just make sure you feed out side the tank or they will fight and could end up eating each other

 Corn Snake Question

Actually . . . the answer is an emphatic NO. snakes are solitary creatures and should be housed separately. aside from the fact that cannibalism can occur, there are so many other factors. one will dominate the other, and they will have to compete for the best warm spots. if one gets sick, they both get sick. stress is a major factor when it comes to housing snakes together. finally, do you want to breed these snakes? if so, house them separately, then place them together for breeding only. if you do not want to breed, get ready to have eggs (or in Rtb’s case live babies) if you house a male and female together. have you noticed how many corns and boas are on the market? they are not difficult to breed. if you can’t house two separately, don’t get a second one.
