Though I would not house those particular snakes together I dont see any aggression problems. Each of these snakes is from a completely different habitat, if I was gonna house snakes togather I would make a naturalistic setup. One thing to be careful of would be after a feed each of the snakes is going to smell like mouse(or whatever you are feeding), and a snake with a strong feeding response might try to "feed" on the other mouse scented snake.

: I have read the housing debates. I was wondering though if I was to feed my snakes seperately, and was to have a large enough cage, would there be any aggression problems if I house simulary sized black rat, a bull snake, and a corn snake together?

: I realize there is the potential for disease, and if one got a disease the rest almost definately would, but other than this is there a serious risk of aggression if fed seperately?

: Thx.
