    Re: A visit to the NY reptile expo!

    Hmmm, this is not going so well. It would seem my male brown snake is not enjoying his new roomate. He will go up to the ghost, and then run away. If the ghost goes near him, he flips out and runs... Will I have to separate them?

    Give them time. You may be too concerned about their socialization.

    Shouldn't be a problem as long as there is no food to be fighting over

    I think they'll be fine, little Runt had a hard time when I introduced him to the concinnus. My male, Ember is bigger than Runt and it scared him any time he want near him. Now, you can often find Runt and Ember coiled up next to each other

    Re: A visit to the NY reptile expo!

    I've never heard of anyone keeping Corns, Garters and Browns together.
    I can understand the concern of the little brown snake. That corn won't smell like anything a brown or even garter would know.
    It's just my opinion but I don't think I would keep two different species of snakes together. That seem dangerous for the smaller snakes.
    I did Google that question "Can you keep corns and garters together" This is what I found.
    can i keep my corn snake and a garter snake in the same tank? | Everything For Your Pet Lizard and Reptiles

    It seems like a novel idea but the risk is too great that something tragic will happen and I know you don't want that.

    With that being said I know that Garter Snake and Brown Snakes are two different species but they are found in the wild together and have the same eating habits and care needs. A Corn Snake is far too removed from the other two.
    Just my opinion.

    Re: A visit to the NY reptile expo!

    That is very true, Steve. There is a possibility of it not harming them at all but there's also the possibility of the corn hurting one of the snakes. It's also quite a bit larger and could possibly crush the smaller ones, kind of like when garters give birth and accidentally crush the babies. In the end, though, it's Rafael's choice.

    A corn looks a lot like a brown snake's natural enemy, the eastern milk snake so it's no wonder he freaks out.

    I wouldn't keep all those together either. I would Keep the corn separate.
