Question
We have a ball python that is 3 or 4 months old and corn snake that is about 10 months old, can we put them in the same cage together. We are in Kentucky and are going through a ice storm, and we would only do it if the electric went off. We was wondering if we could mix them together in the case that it does go out


Answer
Hey Saunakay

As long as it was for a short while, there shouldn't be any problems. The size difference could pose a problem if the ball gets hungry, but that would be pretty rare. Just keep in mind that the situation may stress out both snakes, so keep it to a short a time as possible.
