    No.. this is not advisable. best bet is to use the search feature and see all the threads that discuss this topic. You can read about all the reasons why not to house snakes together. disease, cannibalism, stress are the biggest reasons. please for the health and safety of your snakes, dont do it. get seperate homes for each.

    1 snake one enclosure. Same sex, differenent size, doesn't matter, housing two snakes in one enclosure is not a good idea. Health issues, dominance issues, just not good.

    Can you? Yes
    Should you? No

    They do not need nor desire companionship, and the end effect will be un-needed stress on one or both animals. Cuddling is actually a struggle for domination for the best perceived spot in the enclosure.

    There's absolutely no benefit to housing them together.

    You beat me to it. That is almost exactly what I was going to write. However, I thought they way I put it would have come across a bit more sarcastic.

    Not if you want me to come over there and smack your bottom!
    There will be none of that housing multiple snakes together around here sonny boy!
    They can get sick much easier if you do it. So it's best not too... and they might even get stressed and not eat or poo or they could even give you bigger problems then that!

    But do keep your stick on the ice!!! ROCK ON!
    Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

    Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?
