Question
would it be ok to house a corn x gray rat snake baby with a 3 foot corn  

Answer
Hey Mark,


thats a pretty big size differance so i would'nt reckamend it,snakes are pretty much solitary cratures by nature and with the size differance it could lead to canibalism, now if you are housing corns or rats or any other colubrids of the same size or close you would be all right, now king snakes you would allways have the potencial for trouble hence there name, they will eat each other if need be, and california kings have been known to eat rattle snakes.

well i hope this was helpful, and thanks for the question
