I am thinking to get another corn snake, (Motley Sunglow hatching 2007) . I read so many caresheets and forum, and I an now confused. How long do I have to put the newcomer for quarantine period please? Some said quarantine period is also have to keep the newcomer in a seperate room, not just seperate viv. So what's right?

Other than that, can I ever keep 2 corns together if the viv is big enough? I have not thought of keeping my corns in the same viv but I just want to ask if I can, that's all? I have read that thread about keeping corns together, some said yes and some said no, I just want to know if this is possible at all?

Thanks.

In short ?

anything from 60 - 90 days , away from main collection is best , usually not same room .

housing both ...
not generally accepted as good practise to house two snakes together ( 'cept 4 breeding ) if two in same viv , you notice suspect ''poo'' what one is it from for example ? u dont know ....problem

Okay thanks. I will keep the new on in a seperate room for quarantine. Probably won't keep 2 corns together as they are in the seperate viv atm anyway, but just thought I ask if they like companies or not. Embarassed (I know reptiles don't really bother about companies, but still feel for them just in case they are lonely. Embarassed )
