Putting them together?

I really don't know how to do it. I have two adult snakes, but I'm not 100% sure about either of their sexes. They've never been in contact with one another, so it's sort of a dangerous situation.

Do you guys have any ideas on what I should do?

Take them to a herp vet and get them sexed.

X2. You can look on you-tube and find a lot of different video's on how to pop, but if you are uncertain, take them and have them sexed. I've watched a lot of video's on popping, and still can't get it right. So, I take mine and have them probed. Good luck.

Some reptile stores will actually probe for a small fee or no cost at all, and they can probably show you as well.

The only thing is... I don't know of any reptile stores in my area. It sucks, because I tried a few years ago to find someone who would sex my first snake, Bella, but no one in my area did that.

Would someone at a reptile show do it?

Yeah, they should. But, even if you have a male and a female, I still would not keep them together. Unless of course, you are breeding them. I would keep them by themselves until she is ready. 1200-1500 grams. That way you can breed on your time instead of theirs. It will be much easier to watch for an ovulation, and to be prepared when the eggs arrive.

And, of course, if they are two males, definately keep them seperate to avoid any domination issues. Good luck!
