Gopher snake breeding and housing

Hi I have a huge female gopher snake. She is 6ft and is as round as my adult ball pythons. Then I have an 5ft adult male as round as a bottle cap. Can I house them together. If I can will they breed.

No, you shouldn't house any snakes together unless for breeding, and even then, only for a short period of time. They will typically breed if you put them together, I believe it is still around that time seeing as my gopher is still desperately looking for girls.

Try. Observe and learn. It is so damn cool.

Any snake?

You sure about that?

Are you 100% positively sure this applies to all snakes?

I have yet to see a snake species that enjoys the company of other snakes.

How do you know what they enjoy?

Surely a person of your vast experience knows that there are species that are very commonly kept in pairs and trios - right? You are also aware that there are some species that are impossible to breed unless they are co-habitated year round - right?

My lord - what's with the aggression? Ok, if I was wrong I was wrong. How about politely informing me instead of this sarcastic crap over a technicality?

If it makes you feel better, here:
I am sorry I said "any snakes", as I actually meant "gopher snakes".

Also, I'll be the first to admit I don't have experience with very many species, hence "I have yet to see". Notice I didn't say "there are no".

I have been looking through some of your other posts... You don't like when people give inaccurate info. I get that. What you are doing by being so abrasive about it is not going to help anything. If you don't want people giving bad info, how about properly correcting them? Send a link to where they can get good info? Suggest politely that they should have more experience with x species before giving advice about them? Maybe then you'd actually be making a difference. Without wilomn providing an explanation in another thread for your abrasive attitude, all I could tell is that you were being an ass for the fun of it.
