Corn snakes aren't cannibals. The only times I've heard of them eating eachother is when they are fed at the same time and 1 finishes before the other. Then it tries to eat the mouse the other is eating and 1 of them ends up eating the other as well while swallowing the mouse

Cool, I take them out and put them into a feeding tank 1 at a time so that won't be a problem :)

Just be careful with that. Picking them up after they eat is stressful for them and they may regurgitate the meal. It also can be dangerous when working with larger more aggressive snakes. There's no way I would ever feed my retics outside of their enclosures because they're extremely aggressive before eating and even more after

Yea I know but they are handled a lot and I just gently pick them up and put the strait back, no problems so far :) there is no way my missus would let me get anything bigger anyway lol It took a lot of persuasion to get the corns haha

My husband and I love corn snakes. We have 5 right now. Two I picked up as hatchlings and three were wild caught.

Here are my two!

I did think about getting a milk snake but personally like the look of the corns more.

Good luck with your breeding project, I have heard it's fairly easy? You trying to breed a colour strand or just generally breeding them?
