Corn Biting another Corn???

[maploosh]

I put tow adult corn together to hopefully get them to breed (They are suppose to be a male and female). They seem to have be a little combative, one even bit the other one. Does anybody know why they are combative? Should I seperate them?

Should I seperate them?
Well if they are going to hurt each other then yes I think you should.
Have them sexed you could have two males on your hands.

Define "Bit" if it is a sexed pair it is very likely that the male is not biting in aggression, but just trying to hang on for her to hold still while he tries to do the deed. Male snakes aren't very romantic & are often quite aggressive during breeding especially if the female is being unreceptive. It is not uncommon for them to "bite" the female by the head & neck to get them to hold still. Mark
