She likes her new room mate!!

Just thought I'd share this pic. The larger one is 6months old and the new one is between 2 and 3 months.

i personally wouldnt house those two together judging by head size alone the one is ALOT larger then the other...and i doub t they are "cuddling" looks more like they are trying to gain that "perfect spot" in the cage which either way housing the two of them together is gonna cause quite a bit of stress to them oh and if i didnt say it in a previous post of yours welcome to redtailboa.net

[HetForHuman]

faze is right they should be seperated

[j0nn7_5]

dont listen to everything people tell u especially onhere okmaybe due to gloabal positioning the snakes could act slightly different, but here in the uk i know loadsa of owners who have various numbers of snakes in one viv, evenknow 1 that had 2 cornsnakesin with 2 13ftpythons together for donkeys years and never had any problems what so ever.

my advice is to go with faze. Some guy may have kept those herps together in the UK, but how big was the size of his vivarium? From that pic, it looks a little cramped and if the boas are on top of each other instead of going their seperate ways then it means they are competing for the heat source.... that or mating. The latter being higly unlikely as the size difference is huge and you just put them together.

j0nn, I know guys that drive drunk every night home from the bar for years and have yet to kill themselves or anyone....YET. Doesn't mean they won't. The advice given may or may not be dire emergency but there is no foul in suggesting what is best for the animals. There are more benefits for the animal's safety and well being to seperate them than to not. The only benefit to housing them together is that of space and money for the owner.

This comment is extremely offensive:

And I started to remove it from the thread and PM you a warning...but you qualified your expertise with this:

evenknow 1 that had 2 cornsnakesin with 2 13ftpythons together for donkeys years and never had any problems what so ever.

umm ok...as long as you follow up your insult of this site with crap like that, feel free to insult all you want. Any idiot with half an active brain cell can easily consider the source and choose who to or who not to listen to.

Why not listen to what others have to say? You should not house 2 snakes together for many reasons.

1- if one of them gets sick they will both likely end up sick.
2- if one has mites they will both have mites.
3- if you feed both of them in the same enclosure, one or possibly both snakes could end up dead.
4- if you keep records on your animals, and one goes to the bathroom, how do you know which one went?
5- if one regurgitates, how do you know which one did?

There are many more reasons not to keep them together.

If he should not be listening to anyone on here, that anyone should be you.

And as far as im concerned, your friend or whoever is keeping cornsnakes in with 13 foot pythons, should not be allowed to keep snakes.
He is a very unresponsible person, and so are you for saying that its ok.

Not to mention that corn snakes and pythons have temperature requirements with a difference of about 20 degrees. Do your snakes a favor and go buy the smaller one a rubber-maid tub for 10 bucks. It should last it for another 2 months until you can get a bigger cage.

lol i probably know the least about snakes than anyone here. and even i know a hungry snake will eat another snake if the mood strikes it.

[Wrasse]

That's such a pretty little snake too. Pity.

I saw firsthand a snake in anothers belly a couple of weeks ago. Both carpets, both 8 months old, litter mates. I guess one got hungry.

I live in the UK too and you must know what a bugger it is to sort out temps here half the time as it can be sunny and freezing or cloudy and boiling its British weather and its a pain! you CANNOT house different species together and i don't even house the same together because if one gets sick, oh the other is too and if one regurges, who was that? and what if fighting starts or an early breeding happens? I think too many people do this so at they can have more animals and forget that snakes tend to be solitary creatures and probably don't want another one sitting on them etc.

Just my opinion, Rachel

[Rmk1999]

Thanks for the advice...but its not a cramped enclosure. I had to zoom in and then crop the pic for size requirements to post it. They don't eat in the same enclosure. They both get fed in separate rubbermaid bins. And that pic is actually on the 'cool' side so i doubt they're fighting over a hot spot. They are getting separate enclosures...I just need to build them. Right now they're both too small for 6' cages.

[Rmk1999]

oh...and they're both female.
