Possible Caging for Multiple Species
OK. So I am able to get another snake in my life. What I am not sure about is if I can have different species in the same rack. Orrrr could I split like an Animal Plastics T13 with a divider? I currently have a ball python who is about a year old. I want something to be sized to be her forever home. I have found a kalatoa locality super dwarf retic which I looooove and could buy. Or a blood python. Or a kind of boa. Or a hognose. Couple of questions then.
1) Could I keep any of these species in the same rack or a divided T10 or T13 or T25?
2) What size in quarts would I need for the larger boas or the blood or the retic?
3) Would the heat and humidity needs be close enough for this to be feasible? Or am I crazy?
I have sought the opinion of a local snake breeder and their concern was the size of the rack or enclosure not being big enough for the kalatoa or a blood or boa. I would love for it to be big enough for my new animal as well, but only if it is possible.
Thoughts guys? I've put a lot of thought into this and I just would like the input of more experienced keepers. Thanks :)
Re: Possible Caging for Multiple Species
IMO, I feel each species has their own flora and fauna so mixing species in a rack is something I don't do. I haven't seen any top breeders do that either. It is done however by some people but I can't say if it's caused issues or not. Why take the chance? All my garter snakes are in one rack , my ball pythons are in a different rack. Recently picked up a l.g.pyro who is in a quarantine tub until I get the new rack to house king snakes. Just how I do it.:gj:

Have have my original old corn snake in the top spot of my rack without heat and he is fine but that's just one and imo if you get a retic or a boa you will definitely want a display cage.
