I think you got that backward.
Might I ask why exactly you mix species? Do you not have enough cages for everyone, or do you just enjoy looking at two different snakes in the same cage? As a general rule I'm a little more lenient with same species pairing...at least the snakes have the same husbandry needs. I personally still wouldn't house them together unless they were breeding. And even then, not permanently. Not to mention, snakes are not social creatures. They get together to procreate and that is about it. So right there you have the stress factor. Then you have the possibility of cannibalism. Then you have the factor of if one snake gets sick, they both do. If one gets mites, they both do. You can't get an accurate stool sample to check if one of them is out of whack because you don't know whose it is.
I'm not trying to "bash" you. But in light of all these cons what is it that makes you want to house them together? What makes it worth it?
On a side note, I sure am sorry I ever posted that ad here. It opened up a can of worms I wasn't expecting.
Yea maybe everyone did kinda jump on him but you have to realize too, that he came flying in here cussing and being a rude putz to everyone. So he wasn't exactly asking for respect there.
THERE hartsock, now I'm done.
Maybe.
