In Reply to: Question on housing my two snakes together posted by kylewa on February 18, 2003 at 09:07:48:
I don't know how these specie will react to each others or what their behaviors are, but I do know about housing two snakes together. Firstly, you will need quite a large living space. Secondly you will need AT THE BARE MINIMUM two hides on each side of the enclosure. You will also need one very very large water dish of some sort, or two separate ones. Pretty much, you will need to supply at least two of each item so that if one snake is taking up the hide, the other snake has somewhere to hide on that side as well. You will obviously need to feed them separately and if either snake seems stressed and is in prime husbandry condition, separate them because an accident will indefinitely happen. Last but not least, they need to be almost equal in size to each other as babies and as adults, or you will for sure end up with one chubby snake or two dead ones even if they are not cannibalistic in nature. Once again, these are my tips on snakes in general. I personally don't have room for a large enclosure so I house all snakes separately.
About the two specie you are planning to house together, you need to find out a few things. Firstly, do they have near identical housing needs and are they from the same country of origin. Also, you need to find out if either specie is normally cannibalistic in the wild and if they are, do not house them together.
That pretty much sums it up...sorry for it being so lengthy hehe.
