Regarding egg-eating snakes, they are another exception that can usually be housed together. I mean, they have no teeth, so even if they wanted to eat each other they wouldn't be able to. :P
Occasionally they get stressed being housed with another egg-eater though, and refuse food. So certain individuals do better housed alone. It really depends on the snake :)
That's what I was about to ask lol
can you post some resources on egg eating snakes? I want to get one or maybe even a breeding pair but I don't want to until I've done enough research. Unfortunately there isn't really much out there on breeding them and minimal resources on keeping them
Hey what about Ball pythons like mine
Hi Emily! I'm the girl in the purple sweatshirt who asked for your autograph today i enjoyed your class anyways I had fun bye!
Please like my comment please I don’t mean problems
Fantastic video!
As a zookeeper I’m often trying to explain that while zoos often have multiple animals on display it’s not a good idea at home, generally zoological exhibits are much larger then terrariums, with multiple hides, basking spots and usually have experienced keepers observing the animals,
So glad do have good quality channels to use an inspiration for my own!
Wicked Wildlife this channel, Kamp Kenan and yours are my favourite UA-camrs!
My children love seeing your adorable wombat in videos 😍

I am not sure how long it takes to get a chance to meet you at your coming up
Thank you for sharing your fascinating perspective as a zookeeper!
Just imagine like a group of anacondas traveling in a pack coming for prey
Chris Batrynchuk OH MY GOD THAT WOULD BE TERRIFYING
Thanks I guess I know what's gonna be in my nightmares tonight
Is it just me, or does that actually *sound* pretty cool, but also absolutely TERRIFYING?
@@a.hill09 no it is not just you
*faint rustling and hissing behind you*
We’re so extremely social, it’s hard to understand that other animals aren’t. But if you think about cohabbing more like being forced to share a small apartment with a stranger you didn’t choose, then it’s easier to see why that would be bad for the animal.
I love this Channel because you're your self not like any other youtubers pretending being like someone else
This is so true
And she's not just herself, she's in it woth passion. And she has just a very likable personality anyways.
Gisli Hrafn yea that’s 1 thing I love too!

My cat is dying, and these vids are the only thing that comforts me. Thank you ❤
I hope your cat stays with us
wtf
I know the feeling. My cat has tumor in the brain so he didn't have mush time left.
I’m so sorry. I, myself have three cats and have owned them all my life. It’s such a hard feeling to loose a pet. Hopefully he/ she is ok.
@@Apetitegirly 😂😂
*chokes to death while laughing* THOSE SNAKE HEADED HORSES!!!!!!!! I am going to share this with all my friends!
SO GOOD 😂😂😂
Oh no, that's going to turn into a meme now, isn't it? 😂
@@SnakeDiscovery I hope so! Lol I love your video's! My sister got a corn snake who I fell in love with :) the snake haeded horses had me dead
@@SnakeDiscovery Yes. Yes it is.
I LOVED that! 😂💜
I can honestly say I was one of the ones with the totally irrational phobia of any kind of snake, be it a baby the size of a worm or one of the constrictors, and watching your channel has ebbed that fear away! I still think I’d freak out actually being near one at first 😂
Just wanted to say thank you for all of your informative content! 🐍
Just think of them as 'danger noodles'
I was/am the same way I absolutely was terrified of snakes until I saw this channel and died from how adorable and derpy they looked and now I think I wouldn't mind owning a snake. One that is docile that is.
@@Sassafrass95 i agree thay are derpy and cute
I should try to show my mom this channel she is deathly afraid but I really want a corn so I am trying my best to convince her
My friend has a red tail boa and a ball python living together, at first I was skeptical but then I saw how big the enclosure was. They cut off a corner of their house and build a wooden and plexiglass, two story tower for them. ITS HUGE. And the snakes are super sweet, they get fed nice plump rats and they often curl up on top of each other. Never any aggression. It was quite nice.
Edit: they put the ball python in a separate feeding tank when fed, and they leave the boa in the bigger enclosure. I’ve held both of them and they are the most docile, active, and healthy snakes I’ve seen in a while. My friends mother even puts them around her shoulders while she does the dishes.
they curled up on each other probably because that was a warm spot in the cage. not because they liked each other, or were cuddling. Having other snakes with Ball Pythons has shown to cause stress almost all of the time lmao
Yes it could be a hot spot but there are multiple hotspots in the cage and they BOTH curl up there together. If the ball python was truly stressed out he would act a lot different. They both have full sheds, eat when it is offered, are are truly good mannered snakes. They have been living together since they were young and have been housed together for years.
This was so informative 😁
I should show this to my aunt, she keeps her bearded dragons together in an enclosure, even though she has been told many times not to, and keeps wondering why they're stressed and fighting all the time.. 😑
Your aunt isnt the brightest. I feel sorry for the beardies
My neighbors got 3 ball pythons (like 6 years ago) and they did absolutely no research. They kept 3 very different sized ball pythons in the same enclosure and, Yes, they ended up eating eachother. The largest of the three, an adult female, ate a baby ball python (the smallest), not yet even 200 grams. The medium sized one died either due to stress or improper care (there was no humidity and no heat source). They rehomed the adult thank God but I just don't understand why people don't think to do research first.
@@KimJongUnnie Yeah that is definitely true. I dont understand the mindset behind them.
"One female must be on top of the hierarchy"...hmm
...
I can relate that to cats with no problem
Starting of the year controversial! Me likely.
Also this picture is amazing. 1:16
*WHAT MAJESTIC CREATURES.*
Narcisse Manitoba Canada has the highest concentration of snakes in the world! It is home to tens of thousands of red sided garter snakes that co-habituate with each other. You can go to their dens and see them all! The best time to visit is in the spring and fall
I laughed so hard too!! 😂
Not just in western Canada, but in the u.s. too some unsuspecting people bought a home on top off a similar type of snake pit and had to abandon their home at great cost to them. If you google it, you can read about their nightmare.
I live in a small town in Saskatchewan. There's a small overflow outlet from our water reservoir filled with large rocks an boulders that serves as dens for garters. We see hundreds of them there every year. Used to go there to watch when I was a kid.
Like the ringsnake in the nether lands they lays their eggs in huge dens or haystacks
Your videos are so educational, and I adore them. I was never a fan of reptiles but you've changed my mind, now all my parents hear is "I want a snake." (Of course they say no)
Thank you for being such an awesome youtuber, I'd donate to you on Patreon if I could but I can't I'm sorry. I wish the best new year to you and all of your pets.
Gloria Buggy same!

I have only ever had mammals for pets, but I find this channel so fascinating. I sincerely think you've found your true calling in educating others about proper animal care, it's a delight to learn from you.
I have two corn snakes that I have housed together. They have been together all their lives but I read some thing about them not meant to be housed with each other so I separated them. One of them stopped taking food for around two months so I took it's to a reptile vet and they said its 100% fine. I moved it back with my other snake and it started eating normally, so I'm sorry I'm keeping mine together... When they feed I do place a board between them though since the owners before me let one grab the others head.
I also house two of my corn snakes together. They're both female siblings and I've had them since they were eggs. I'm careful about feeding them and they seem fine being together. They eat just fine and don't appear to be stressed to me.
I have 2 corn snakes also that live together and I have had them for about 2 years and they eat very well. One time, just after being fed, one but the other because he thought she was food but I separated them for a few days then put them back together and they've been fine since. I plan on separating them soon so they have more space and I'll see how it goes.
Well, corn snakes are a type of rat snake so that might mean something
There are ALWAYS outliers to biological norms. Always. Nothing in nature is 100%. She's not saying you must separate your snakes. They are obviously used to each other. Congrats your snakes are the 5% that can get along. But for the other 95% of snake owners, you should probably just not have them together. Will there be exceptions? Of course. It would be weird if there wasn't exceptions.
I just got a male and a female (or that's what I was told). She is almost 2 yo and he is few months younger. The previous owner told me they have been together for a long time and they are together now, but I do intend to separate them, since I´m not interested in breeding. Now I just got worried that they have eating issues once they are separated. :(
Your awesome channel is the reason my parents are letting me go to a reptile convention and get a corn snake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks!!!!!!!! And don't worry we researched about it to see if that's a good snake for me and make sure I take are of it correctly. Again thanks super much!!!! OMG I'M SO EXIGHTED AND HAPPY IM GETTING A SNAKE!! :D
Heck yeah congrats
Congrats! Corn snakes are an amazing species and I’m sure you’ll love your new noodle!
Lol you'll regret it.
Edit: it's a responsibility.
How are they?
My teacher who is also a herpetologist has two corn snakes living together. He took them in after a student couldn't care for them and was moving out of state. He tried to make them live separately but they became stressed, lethargic, and refused to eat for almost a year. He tried housing them together again and they immediately started eating and being active again. He always tells us students that we should always keep them separate unless you are breeding and not year round and that those two were a "strange exception". They never mated or showed any aggression towards each other. They just liked being together I guess.
Great video Emily- you clearly explained all the important points in a kind, calm, and non-confrontational way- your understanding and genuinely positive attitude is such a great example for others to follow. Thank you for these wonderful, interesting and informative videos 👍
One of the baby corn snakes at my work ate the other it was housed with. Unfortunately, the other snake was about the same size or slightly larger. My work place is a petstore so these animals are confined in a smaller tanks than I would say is normal for multiple 5-8 week old corn snakes.
The cornsnake had his meal burst through his stomach walling and it slowly killed him over the day. Meaning two perfectly heathy corn snake died because of their enclosure not being up to standard. I find it very sad and frustrating, I love these animals and losing them over something so easily preventable it’s just awful.
kim jong unnie I understand your feelings and share them. Not all pet stores treat there animal as poorly as the videos you see here on UA-cam and it would be Bias to say they all do or do not have issues.
I love this channel, especially whoever edits. Those little captions as if the snakes are speaking make me laugh so much. Only recently started watching this channel and I'm already in love ❤🐍
You are going to help me soo much when I get a snake 🐍
Can I get your snake
I got 60 snakes( btw no joke the snake racks you See that u see in de vid i have the same principe ima small breeder

It's funny I found this video in my recommended at this time. Yesterday I was looking at snakes for sale and I saw someone selling two corn snake males along with their enclosure. They wrote that they'd been keeping the snakes together for years and never had any problems, but it got me a bit worried since I've never seen corn snakes being cohabitated before (and I read a few cases of corn snake cannibalism). Thank you for educating me on the subject. I wasn't planning on buying the snakes, but at least I now know that I have to keep them separated if I ever get some in the future.
I would really love a video going through how to introduce Garter Snakes together, the steps needed to take when introducing them, and essential supplies needed to ensure they will be happy together
Please, I very much need this as I have two garter snakes and they are of different sizes. What size tank would be acceptable to keep them in together? Since I got the second snake(Umaroth) my other garter(Fírnen, which is a baby) has eaten better, but I’m worried about the young adult(Umaroth)hurting Fírnen(the baby garter snake). What do I do?
This video was great! I love your channel. I, personally, own a bearded dragon who was housed with all his siblings before we got him. He had bites all up the tip of the tail but the pet shop owner said “it should be just fine.” After a bit the tail started to turn a dark grey colour. We contacted our friend who was a vet and we used treatment that she recommended. In the end he had to have his tail amputated. So please don’t house bearded dragons together.
I really love this channel! It’s helped me quite a bit a few times with my snakes :D
I’ve kept a few snakes together, garter snakes, ribbons, rat snakes, pythons, etc. Just never racers, or any kind of king snakes.
I love how you are yourself and don’t try to be someone your not! I love that you have an opinion and your not scared to share it. I’ve been wanting snakes for a while but my mom says no reptiles😭 I love your channel!
I love your channel you are so good with snakes!
As someone who's had leopard geckos my whole life, I've found that even when housing breeding pairs together it's better to have a male that's a bit smaller or more timid than the female. My oldest breeding pair currently (they've been together for 5-6 years now) coexist great, but I have had past experiences (specifically w/ the female of that same breeding pair, just w/ other males) that didn't work as well. The female's very dominant, although very docile so she hasn't gotten into fights w/ anything unless challenged, (so far).
As long as you take their temperaments into strong consideration, introduce them properly, and give them enough space and food, you should be able to house more than one gecko peacefully.
Yay! I’m early! You usually post while I’m at school

Trailer Two I was on the bus home when she posted
this is beautiful.
Snake Discovery I love your videos they are helping me conquer me fear of snakes
Thanks for giving me yet another reason to hate Petco and PetSmart, they put corn snakes, ball pythons, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, and more together
Unfortunately they do for some however any employee will tell you not to do this with certain ones at home alot of people think its okay since the petstore did it but when youre in a petstore everything is temporarily set up and most of the animals are at a young enough age to where it doesn't matter, but it definitely sends the wrong message to uneducated customers
Petsmart is a strictly female store when it comes to reptiles all their leopard geckos are female which is why their house together but I would not recommend doing it at home my 2 were kept together from babies which is why they were getting along And the most petsmarts will not house ball pythons corn snakes or anything like that in groups and I have seen that multiple times only Petco will put them in multiples and what I've seen is the petsmart I know do one snake per cage and you have to buy at least a 20 gallon when adopting
@@crimsonstaryyt8196 I bought my Ball Python from a Petsmart and they do keep ball pythons in groups, and other snakes in species groups. I have a picture from before I did research of my snake before I bought it, curled up with another ball python of roughly the same size, turns out them curling up is a dominance battle for a heat source. I’m so glad I got my snake home and in a solitary cage.
Hey Emily just wanted to let you know how much I love and appreciate your videos. Your voice is so calming and the way you talk in just lovely. I had a really bad night today and binge watching your videos helped calm me down again 🖤 keep it up!
A zoo that I worked at had 8 corn snakes together in a bay enclosure. Was sad they were all on top of each other:(
You guys are literally one of the absolute best herping channels ever. Thank you for being so fun and informative!
*literally have no clue why there is already dislikes*
Someone disagreed, not sure on what exactly but a disagreement
gotta love those bots n' directionless haters
THE HATERS MAN, THE FRIGGIN HATERS
Gotta love those who sub and notification bell to be first dislike because it "makes them cool"
Because theres a hell of a lot of dislikable people around apparently......!? Lol
Very great as usual, love how well-informed this is on the appropriate form of reptile keeping in regards to the controversial subject when it comes to cohabbing. Unfortunately I get many people attempting to justify cohabbing to the point where I end up backing them into a corner and they literally just grasp at nothing and use excuses to continue and try to justify it. It's sad, but at the very least continuing to educate hopefully will get through to some at least.
Would you consider doing a video on how you set up your snake rack and where you found your tubs? I ask because I feel like the tubs in your snake rack, while they are long, seem to be a bit taller than tubs you'll find in most rack systems. I like that they're a little taller because then you can actually give them enough substrate for burrowing as well as hides and enrichment (versus just putting them in an empty tub with a water dish).
Ive had a snake for just over a year and have been watching you since then and your channel has taught me so much about snakes that my snake is very happy where he is and is very healthy and gets along with our whole family x
Yay!!!!! Second!!!! This is my favorite educational UA-cam channel!!!!! Edit: I love your videos and all you snakes and animals!!!!!!!!! 💘♥️💙💜🤞
It’s Me Chloe SAME!!!
Hey Chloe, this is my second fav educational channel. My favorite educational channel is Antscanda. :)
I love this channel, it really shows how much you enjoy reptiles and you’re so knowledgeable!!!!
One minute and already 2 dislike. What has the world come to.
I see 9
Those are the people who don't like being told they're housing their snakes wrong. Rather than accept that they may need to change, they just toss a "thumbs down" and continue on with their ignorance.
Marissa Russo I asked that on the last video and someone said it’s basically because the snakes enclosures are too small and they don’t like that. Like Emily doesn’t go over that in one of her other videos. I think it’s just any excuse to hate a popular UA-camr who isn’t going out for the shock value.
Yea and many people just hate on her videos because they don’t like snakes
Brenna115 silly people for that reason. I’m not a huge fan of spiders and if they had those on their videos, I certainly wouldn’t be watching them.
Very cool and informative! I always assumed this behavior about water snakes ever since I saw a huge "litter" of babies in a small body of water with several adults around once in the wild. It was so cool to watch them interact. I'd love to work with that species some day.
I love the captions!!! 😂
I'd love to see more of the Garter girls. They're some of my favorites. Much love from New England!!
That herd of snakes galloping across the field was so majestic, I cried the manliest tears a woman could cry.

I want to say thank you
Because there are soo many people who have the wrong idea of snakes. But I now a few people who think differently now. Your an inspiration for me and many others I'm sure and your videos are both educational and fun. Plus there aren't many channels like yours explaining difrent species and showing others that not all of them are dangerous and if you treat them right you may find a new best freind in a way. I used to have a snake but because of issues we had to give him away to another family. I love your videos and I hope they don't stop. I can't wait for the next video
There are many species of snakes who need to be with companions for best husbandry. However! They are NOT the most commonly kept species. King/milk snakes? Nope. Ratsnakes? Not generally safe. Ball/blood/reticulated/burmese pythons? Definitely not.
Water snakes, garter snakes, and many types of vipers like rattle snakes, are a few specific examples who not only thrive with buddies but often fail without. There are a lot of individual species of mixed colubrid types that need to/can be housed with companions, and there are some scattered examples of pythons and boas who exhibit some social behaviors. Again though... Very few of them are kept commonly.
I would definitely suggest to new keepers not to cohab anything off the bat, and not to start with a species that requires it (except garter snakes, specifically). Once you learn more about reptile body language and habits, and what the signs of bullying and fighting are, then it could be worth attempting. It is very fulfilling.
One of my favorite social species of herps is collared lizards. They are adorable, stay small, and are so confident and friendly. As a beginner to keeping colonies, I highly recommend collared lizards or garter snakes due to the ease of care and manageable sizes. There is a group on facebook as well with AMAZING advanced husbandry techniques and extremely skilled keepers, biologists, zoologists, etc., for those who want the resources. It is called Advancing Herpetological Husbandry or AHH. I strongly recommend it. You can see great examples of many rare and very social species there.
thx =]
just incase anyone is doubting that you cannot house bearded dragons together, im here to tell you keep them apart! My female leatherback Lettie was housed with a bigger female and when i got her she is missing all but one toe on her back foot and all of her fingers on her front hand and its permanently bent under. she gets around fine but basically the bigger female attacked her and drug her around the cage by her arm. She is with me and in a huge enclosure with a waterfall that she likes to soak in and ive been keeping an eye on her hand and its shedding good but its just sad that that had to happen in the first place.
I was told that corn snakes could be housed together... but now I'm learning that's not true....
Really interesting video! My friends used to cohab her 3 male Boas together. She never had an issue in the 3 years of having them. One unfortunately had to be euthanized and the other one died, it was really old. All 3 where a different size and age. I don't know much about reptiles but her Boas seemed to do just fine. All of them where eating good and friendly to humans. But she fed them in different containers and she kept them in a huge enclosure.

Hi Emily and Ed, thanks for your time and effort and videos. Awesome and amazing. Diane from Southampton UK
Hi... I love rex and want to see more of her
Where I used to live,there was a group of broad headed skinks who would bask together on and next to the back steps and hide in the leaf litter or bask on top of it. I always enjoyed watching them.
Hi random person scrolling through the comments !!
Hi

hi,
Hi!
This is my favorite youtube channel. I bought your merch. The one with the hognose saying "Food?". I love the shirt.
I saw you in A room you showed the snakes and them you were holding the cobra well big snake i was in the snake rattle and walk today
I don’t even have a reptile (well not any more) and i still love watching this UA-cam and it was a long time ago but i still miss them
What type of snake should be together for every anyway?
Garter Snakes are social, you could house them together. Males and females in separate bins of course, especially if they are different species of garter snakes.
Garter snakes
This information is in the video.
@Tracey Rich It was a factual statement. It wasn't nice, nor was it mean. It was merely information.
@Tracey Rich The irony of your last response is wonderful. Thank you for that. I do find it extra amusing that you seem to be getting upset about statements that have absolutely no emotion or negative intent behind them. You might want to work on that if you hope to succeed in life.
Garters are a great option for cohabitation, they're fairly social in my experience
My Bois Charlie and Reinhardt are very happy together
And also tell Rex I love him same with your snapping turtle I have one also
Her. Turns out Rex was a girl!
Sorry
I had adopted an elderly male and female leopard gecko a long long time ago that were in the same tank. Soon as I got them I got the girl a separate tank. They immediately stopped eating and only started again when I put them back together. He flirted with her often and despite being little she would just snub him and he’d just mope. No fighting. Honestly to this day I have no idea what was up with those geckos. Maybe it because they were old. The male being 8 and the female going on 10.
Hi guys
I found you out by my friend and immediately fell in love with your channel and I love that you be your selves and not some one you are not suppose to be

Your channel has completely helped calm down my crippling fear of snakes and now I want one
OMG you are the best I want a baby snow 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
my first snake was a rescue named Cyril that was co-habited by his old owner. he was maybe a year old when we got him and had been housed with two, fully grown male carpet pythons, and that went about as well as you might expect. The guy told us he came home one day and one of the adults had eaten the other, and was chasing Cyril. Since then he'd been keeping Cyril in a hatchling box because he just didn't know what to do with him.

It is always a learning experience watching your vlogs. I've missed quite a few these last couple of months due to moving but I need to see them so it will be a Snake Discovery day for me soon. I hope you had great holidays. Take care and have fun!
All of my snakes have their own enclosure and I think that's the best for them. Really good video..
I don’t know how you do it but the way you explain things keeps me engaged and I actually manage to learn (rare for me) thank you! 💗x
With quite a few snakes, it also comes down to the question of how big the enclosure is. They need enough space to roam, enough hides, enough spots for basking, enough space to avoid each other and not be forced to compete for the best spots. Then, you have snakes like king snakes that eat other snakes - of course, keeping them together is a really bad idea.
This is really educational and great because Im planing on getting a snake in 2 or 3 weeks
I have an 11 year old Nicaraguan Boa Constrictor that was really problematic and extremely aggressive for the majority of her life. For many years I couldn't get her in out of her cage without her striking at me and I had always thought it was just part of being a dwarf species. I have always housed my snakes individually, but three years ago I got a crazy idea that she was agressive because she was nervous, so I put her with one of my extremely calm male boas. Within a few weeks her demeanor noticeably changed. Within a month she went from striking at me every time I walked by her cage to curling up calmly in my lap. Now she's not even the same animal she was before. She is sweet, gentle, and actively seeks attention. The only time I see her become agitated since they became room mates is when I take him out and leave her in the cage by herself. After this experience, I have thought that boas might also benefit from cohabitation. After all, it has been discovered quite recently that Cuban Boas hunt in groups, so it's quite possible that the true degree of natural socialization in snakes is misunderstood for lack of information.
I love the Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur stickers on your racks! I’ve seen those stickers passed around a lot at reptile expos. Glad to see you got your hands on some!
I'm so glad that you re-started con-sub videos l!!! They are my favorite as a beginner reptile owner. Like if you agree
My friend housed a red-tailed boa, and two ball pythons together in a 50 gallon tank. I didn't think much of it as a kid, cause they looked to peaceful together, but after learning more about snakes I realized how bad that was. They didn't have a heat mat either, just a lamp and the snakes would shed in bits instead of one full one. They even thought the boa and the male python had breed and were expecting eggs.
I love your they are really helpful and learning of new things about snakes and you a very joyful person
How is this channel not have millions of subscribers
btw i like the way you speak (ik this sounds weird 😂) there are other reptile channel owners that are always speaking fast and are always in a hurry... 😑 but you're great, you actually take your time to explain everything, you smile and you know what you are talking about 👍🏻
Sometimes I get distracted by the snakes moving around in the bins in the back and I stop listening for a bit because I become so fascinated with em! Then I gotta rewind a bit lol
your videos are great because they're entertaining and educational at the same time.
I had two female leopard geckos and the person we got them from said not to put them together because they would fight.(they where from different hatched groups) We noticed they where both very laid back so we tried putting them together and they ended up getting along fantastically.
I have one question why hasn’t this channel got 1 million subs yet?
Do you have any videos about crested geckos? I got my first two days ago and i want to make sure i'm taking care of it properly! It's only 4 months old and out of all reptile youtubers you're the one i trust the most :,)
I love your channel because it teaches me about snakes
I laughed really hard at the picture in 1:16. It's great.
I have two garters that I house together, and it seems like Joseph calms down Caesar greatly. during quarantine, Caesar wouldn’t be handled and would musk, but around Joseph he seems to calm down a lot!
