Question
hello i need a little help with the housing of corn snakes. my brother and I want to get corn snakes. is there anyway we can get 2 and house them together in a 50 gallon tank. if so do they have to be the same type and gender. thank you.

Answer
Well, I wouldn't recommend housing them together but you can do so.  You must absolutely have two water bowls, four hides two on the cool side and two on the warm side, and never feed them together.  When feeding feed them separately outside of the enclosure.  I would also recommend that you get different genders as this will allow for them to not go into combat mode during breeding season.
