this is generally a bad idea especially because they are two different species. you've got several issues to think about. Disease issues: one species might be more susceptible to a certain disease than another (this applies more to different families but is a good general rule to follow). Feeding issues: you always run the risk of one snake eating another one...unlikely in your case but a risk nonetheless. Activity issues: the two different species may have different activity levels which will cause one to become more stressed from the other being more active, or active at different times. Hope that helps. Good luck, RC

: Hello.

: I have a four and a half foot long bull snake. And a friend has a four and a half long foot Yellow Rat snake. I was wondering if I could house them together. The cage demisions are- 4ft long - 17in. deep - and 13in wide. Thanks.....
