snake housing

What snakes get along with each other, and won't get stressed out or try killing each other?

What are some problems that might happen when keeping more than one snake with another?

"They" say not to house any snakes together, unless you are trying to breed them. I keep my two corns together, but they have been together since they were lil lil...
NEVER feed together!!! Because one could bite the other, because of the rat smell.
Your safest bet is to house alone!
Hope this helps!

The only one I could think of would be garter snakes...and even then they only come together for breeding. The basic bottom line is that no snake species is really social with partners or groups. To keep snakes healthy and happy, no matter what kind, keep one snake per enclosure.

Problems with co-habitation abound: Stress from domination issues that leads to non-feeding snakes, Never knowing which snake is the sick one, Potential violent behavior including the odd act of cannibalism... All in all it's just not worth it to try housing together.

Do you have a specific breed in mind?

Housing multiple snakes together can create problems such as stress, going of feed, spreading of diseases and/or parasites, premature breeding etc.

and why not just get one snake? :gj:

I think i remember reading about the puff faced water snakes in reptiles magazine. I think he has those housed together. :)

No specific bread in mind here.

Just wondering if there would be any you could put together to make a cool viewing tank. Not like I'd do it any time soon though if you could. heh.

Yeah, I figured feeding separate tanks.
