2. Stress - It may not show, but one or both could become stressed and go off feed, regurge, etc. 3. Impregnation - if one is a female and the other male, you could end up with a snake being fertilized by the other. This would then leave you with hybrid snakes, since they are not the same ssp. I would house them seperate. Just my $.02 worth. Good luck.
The standard answer you are going to get from the majority of people is the snakes should be housed seperate. I also feel that snakes should be housed seperate. Snakes are solitary animals and only group together under certain circumstances i.e. breeding and hibernation.
There are good reasons not to house them together.
1. Viruses - If one snake catches something, being housed together will only lead to both being infected.

:The thing is, I think it actually loves my other leuc. tx. rat. They are not caged together now, but when I put them together they will both go and coil up somewhere all day with each other . When they are seperated, the green rat paces the cage all day, leuc. rat does her normal nothing. Should I let them live together since they are both babies(4 months each) and they seem to like each other? Of course, I would feed them one at a time. Or is it better to just keep them seperate? Thanks
