That depends on how much you like the smaller one. |

The bit on bold- this is a BAD reason to try co-habiting.

I considered keeping my 2 hatchlings together when I first go them. However after sitting and thinking about it it just seemed easier to keep them seperate. You can tell then if there is a problem with one, you wouldn't know who was pooping or regurgitating if housed together, if one got ill they both would probably. But this is just my opnion! |

Only you can decide but just ask yourself how you would feel if it all went wrong? |

thanks, what about dividers
Dividers work great, I have 2 young females living in a 4 foot wooden viv I split down the middle with a wooden partition, works a treat.  |

Alot of shops co-habit-By housing their stock together they can save space and so have more of the little money makers in store. It is also then easy to convince beginners that snakes are fine living together, and look prettier with all the lovely colours.... therefore selling twice the amount of snakes without scaring off a punter with the cost of a full second setup. |

Do a search on co-habiting, and read all the pros and cons (or, all the cons and the few pros...)
I don't, won't, and wouldn't recommend housing corns together unless you know exactly what you are doing. |

As I said, it is down to personal choice, many people do it successfully, but there are also huge risks, and most people would say for example, IF you did, only adults, only 2 females, feed seperate, etc etc. But I strongly recommend reading that thread, just to make you aware of others views and what can happen. :/

Its all down to personal opinion, although Im not so sure how big 40 gallon is, I recommend you read this: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1070
