ah, keeping peace in the living quarters is always a smart thing to do. I don't think I'll be much help to you with corn snakes...the only real experience that I've had with them was for a few months when I had 2 assigned to me when I was in college (my school was a zoo, literally, lol). Active little guys, mine were. I am sure you will find plenty of good information here though. Welcome and good luck with your search!
