Answers:

Corn snakes are NOT noted to be cannibalistic or eat other snakes. It is possible to house two corn snake together & I have a pair that have lived together for 5yrs. now with no mishaps. Just make sure that the enclosure is large enough to provide a couple secure hiding spots & with appropriate warm & cooler spots for the snakes, so as not to stress them or cause competition for only one secure spot.

You can house them with rat snakes, garter snakes just to name a few.

NEVER house any 2 snakes together, except during breeding. Snakes are solitary animals and forcing them to live together which causes stress, and stress in turn causes feeding, shedding and health problems. Also, snakes have been known to eat each other. Just don't do it.

Corn snakes can be housed with other corn snakes of similar size, so long as they are seperated for feeding.

Never mix species together, milk snakes and king snakes will eat other snakes.

Male and female snakes should be housed seperatley.

After wintering your snakes at cooler temperatures the two sexes can be put together for mating. Please get some advice about breeding these snakes before you proceed with breeding.
