It's never really a good idea to keep multiple snakes in the same
cage. AND in this case, it would be a really bad idea. King snakes'
natural prey is other snakes. Unless the corn is lots bigger than the
king, you'd likely end up with one snake with a very full belly.

FYI, www.kingsnake.com is a good place for info on snakes and how to
care for them.

King Snakes feed on other snakes. You would most likey be minus a corn snake
if you tried.

I concur with DeWitt and Greg ~ don't put other snakes in with a
kingsnake unless the other snake is much larger.

I had a kingsnake once in my younger days. A friend of mine wanted me
to keep a garter snake he just caught but he didn't have a cage so he
asked me if I would keep his garter snake for awhile until he could
get a cage. I warned him that kingsnakes eat other snakes but I guess
he just didn't believe me. He said he could get a cage in a couple of
days and he didn't think anything would happen to his new garter
snake. That garter snake was eaten within a couple of hours. I just
could never turn down free food for my kingsnake.
