I am sure it was on Reptiles Canada but I searched and can't find it. I wonder if it was removed because the picture is copyright?

I saw that photo as well. That corn had balls!

I cohabbed corns for about six weeks or so, they were fine; until the day they werent!! Luckily i happened to be present when one suddenly went after the other, literally chasing it round the viv un til i separated them.

I will NEVER cohab snakes again

I'm glad I asked the question and thanks for the advice all. The last thing I want to do is put my littles ones in danger.

i wonder if that guy kept that corn for memories. i would lol.

It's a roll of the dice. You may be just fine, or you may end up (as other posters stated) with one fat snake. I personally have kept corn snakes in the same enclosure temporarily, but never permanently.

Recently saw an ad on Craigslist in my area of a guy keeping a red tail and a ball in the same cage. That sounded like a recipe for disaster.

It is. I have come across more than one instance of a BC eating a ball python...after "years" of being friends.

Rules for all reptile... one animal one vivarium! It reduce stress... disease and other problems cause by stress (ex : stop eating).... in the wild there isn’t one reptile that will live whit another except when it’s time to breed! And even when breeding at home... u will not let both together for a long period

Sorry but this isn't completely true. You are making a blanket statement that is incorrect.

hum ok then find me one snake that cohabits in nature!

And if u tell me that they are all staying close because they love each other ... that not why.. There looking for heat! And all what I said does happen… doesn’t mean it always happen… but are u ready to take the chance… me as a breeder I dont! And will never tell a buyer to do so…

Now this is causing me some consternation. You usually know your stuff but this is the first time I have ever heard of a boa eating another snake, at least from a credible source. Do you have anything I can read on this?
