I have a fairly large cage 4x2x2 that I keep two snakes in a male and a female. I have been told that it is not good to keep two snakes in the same tank/cage because they will go off their feed. Both of them eat well. My female was off her feed for about a month but that was before I got the male. Since then she and him are both eating. They both share the same hide and most of the time are laying together. Seems to be no friction between them at all. Look like a happily married couple.
