Answers:
Corn snakes are NOT noted to be cannibalistic or eat other snakes. It is possible to house two corn snake together %26 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 %26 with appropriate warm %26 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.
Corn snakes are not snake eaters and can be kept more than one together. They are wonderful tame snakes that eat small rodents in the wild and in captivity.
you cannot put ANY other snakes in with the corn snake. Corn snakes eat other snakes and thus won't get along at all. their favorite food is snakes and lizard although I feed mine rat pups.Try to get mmore information on your pet in order to give it the care it needs. www.stormpages.com/dracoslair/.
check out this site it is very helpful and has a lot of tips to keep your snake happy.

to all the thumbs down.what did I do to you? just curious what's so bad about this answer, by the way I've had a corn snake for 3 years now.
You have an IMMEDIATE problem. You have a 2 week old snake. I know your not a breeder, because if you were, you would know the answer to that question. However, your snake has about an 90% death rate right now. Good luck. Make sure she stays really warm, and is in ASPEN bedding. OH MY, who ever sold you a 2 week old snake needs to be reported. I cant believe this. You should have done researgh PRIOR to getting the snake.
