never gonna work

[jo]

i still cant get my 2 corn snakes to live together without, leon my eldest corn being threatning to hugo my 9 mouth old. Leon just chaces him around and around the viv. iv even put leon in his old viv for 2 days cleaned out his normal viv totaly, moved it aroud added new hides and plants then put both snakes in the viv together but he was still being nasty i think i might have to sell hugo as leon is my oldest and i am more atached to him. the cash will go to my iguanna. dose anyone no how much i could sell a 9 mounth old caremal corn for with a small plastic 1ft 1ft set up ? dont think i could sell him but i need to think about it

[John Pilling]

Can't you keep both in seperaqte viv's?

If you have to sell one of them then please make sure it's to somone you know or has had snakes previousley, maybee someone off would buy him (i would, but you to far away).

[jo]

im moving in to my sisters house and dont have the space for another viv for hugo and he is already to big for his. The move was totaly un seen but she needs me.

Id never sell him to just anyone, dont worry.
me and dave have been talking about it on msn and im gonna split the viv temp solution i think. he will show you the pics as we would love your advise john

[mourne]

Awe Jo that would be awful if you had to part with Hugo just because your older corn doesn`t like him. A home made viv doesn`t cost that much. How long have you had Hugo?

[jo]

since just before christmas it would break my heart, its not the cash it space at ma sisters house im already taking a huge cage for ma chinchilla, leon in his 3ft viv ma staffy and ma boyfriend so i cant totaly take over the house as she has a 1 1/2 year old and is going to give birth in 2 weeks !

[Muphesto]

cant u stack the vivs on top of each other, that way it aint taking up any more space, just height..even if the bottom one is sitting on the floor, then the top of the top viv can be used as a table or what not

Im sorry to hear about the situation you are in. Are you sure of the sex of both corns? To me it sounds like it is possible that the younger one may be female which is why the older one is chasing her around? Just and idea. This is exactly what my corns do when i put them together when mating. Otherwise the older one may be agressive as it already has one over on the younger one as he is bigger and braver. If they are both male I wouldnt try to introduce them again as it sounds like it may end in disaster and IMO it may be better to try and house them seperate or sell one or you may end up with one of them being hurt.

Like you said you could try and divide the viv you have, how big is it? Are you moving to your sisters permanantly? If not you may be able to get someone to look after him until you are in a situation to take him back? I will try and help find someone if thats what you decide.

Good luck and I hope it works out for you ;D

[jo]

my move is just short tearm and i dont have room in my bedroom for 2 vivs at all noteven stacked up, my sisters house is cramed, she is having another baby so i will have to keep them in ma room
im not sure of hugo's sex the vet said she thort he was a boy but he was verry young at the time.

Anyway iv been to the diy shop and got some clear plastic sheats cut to size to split the viv so iv just finninshed sorting it out, its not perfct but it will do untill i move back in to my own place. It all depends on geting both corns sexed, how much they both grow, and if they start to tolate each outher. or leon might strees hugo out being so close, or how long i stay at my sisters. But at least he is safe for now thanx Dave ;D

[Dave]

no worries an once you have pics id love to see them! ;D

[Muphesto]

are you splitting it up and down, or across?

just wondering about heating, did u split it down the middle and put the heat mat in the middle, so the cold sides are at each end?

or use two heatmats?

or you using bulbs of some sort?

muphesto, it is split long ways from the short side to the short side the heat mat is on the left hand side, the viv is long and skinny but it will do for now.

i think im gonna keep him now sorry ;D

[John Pilling]

Good on you jo ;D, i know i couldn't sell 1 of mine and would find it hard to part with the baby's when i breed next year , but i'm going to have to as i havnt the room (or money) to keep them.

[Muphesto]

do u have a heatmat on the top half aswell?
as far as i was awear heat mats were designed to heat what was directly on top of them, ie if the snake lies on it it will get the heat into its belly

they wernt made to heat the air temperature...so if the corn upstairs aint got a heatmat to lie on, i could see some problems with digesting food etc

just a thought that u might wanna look into

[jo]

its all on the same level its split down the middle with clear plastic running paralel with the glass doors working in the same way as the doors

[Muphesto]

ah right i get it now ;D

like a back and front....each section is 4ft long but only half the width of the viv?

cool cool

[Dave]

cant wait to see pics jo ;D

[jo]

update.... leon has not setald in his half of the viv at all he is normaly crusing about at early morning and dusk, but he is out all the time digging in his substrate which he has never done, and hugo was in shead mode and he went clear about saturday i moved him in to his new viv monday he hadent shead, i thort it could be a bad move with him in shead mode but, i thort he would like more space to shead as he is to big for his old viv. He still hasnt shead could this be strees he hasnt been out of his hide that i know of and wich is normal bt im a bit worried shounld i move him back or dose anyone think it would strees him more ?

[jo]

ok what i was trying to say but some how missed the point is Would strees stop a corn from sheading ?
