I have always heard that keeping the snakes seperate except during breeding increases the chances of a successful mating. Its the whole familiarity breeds contempt thing. ......... On the plus side, I don't have to hang around at feeding time to make sure they don't grab the same mouse. I would suggest the divider for both reasons.

: I am currently working on the design of my next enclosure, which will be to house the two E.o.spiloites that I am hoping to get for breeding purposes. I would like to know whether there is any problem with housing the two together year-round other than the general problems that can arrise from housing any two snakes together? The alternative I have considered is making an enclosure with a divider that has a door in it. The door could be opened up at the appropriate times of year but could remain closed the rest of the year to prevent conflicts. Thoughts anyone?
