What length corns can you keep together?

[fmaster7]

I'm having a problem with one of my heating pads in one of my enclosures.

My other enclosure has 3 female corns in it. A 2.5 footer and 2 2 footers.

May be a dumb question: Can I keep 2 juvenile corns in the same enclosure and eliminate an enclosure, or can I keep them in there temporarily?

I had them in there for a day and there was no problems. One juvenile was resting with the 2.5ft corn, and the other juvenile with a 2ft corn.

You can house like or even different sized corns together but I would avoid housing opposite sexed ones together unless you are planning on breeding them. And always feed separately and be careful after feeding due to the smell of prey on the other snake could still cause a feeding response.

I was told by other people as well, that to keep them safe ONLY to keep similar sized corns together. There is a chance that a bigger one could kill a smaller one. I keep all separate except the 2 I am attempting to breed.

Thats what I read too, but my big ones are like puppy dogs. And they dont seem to be a threat to my juveniles when I watch them for a while.

It's a matter of a couple things. Big ones can sopmefimes turn cannibalistic from what I've been told, and bigger ones can also crush smaller ones. The size difference, you know?
