well, as you may or may not have read, in a couple of months, i am thinking about getting back into snakes, more precisely, corns. Have been reading up, and there seems to be mixes of people who say you can and can't keep corn snakes together, and then people who say they can but won't so they can monitor feeding etc of individuals. Not something I've tried before but this is a species I'd be willing to do it for if possible. However, I was wondering if surely you monitor things like this then this wouldn't be a problem, as i'd have a lot of time on my hands. Anyway, just wondered on peoples views or peoples experiences, whether its found that they do better individually, as a duo or in a group. Males together not good? etcGoes without saying if i was to do this the snakes would be of similar age and as close to same size as can get. Thanks for your input, anything helps.
 
they will be fine together the only thing I would do is divide them when its feeding time because when the first one is done he will still be on the hunt for more
 
its not really recommended just be cautious like jsodwi posted and watch for any signs of aggression hey if you want to keep two get them probed and get a male female in a couple years you will want to breed them any ways so get a head start.

feeding them out of their permanent homes so wouldn't be a problem.

i agree totally... i have a custom made enclosure with 1 male and 3 females 5' to 5 1/2' and they do great together... i have a seperate rubbermaid for all of them for when it comes to feeding :headbang2
 
and what ever you do... do not keep more than one male with females
