Seperating?

Ok Here's The Deal, I Bought Two Bp's One Male And One Female..they Are Only About 19"-20" Long. My Concern For Right Now Is I Built A 40x18x12 Cage About A Month Ago And Put Them Both In There..they Both Seems To Be Doing Fine, The Dont Really Bother With Each Other And Dont Seem To Be Stressed... There Both Eating And Always Curled Up On Opposite Sides Of The Cage But Once In A While They Come Around Each Other And Coil Up Together..my Concern Is Would They Try To Breed Earlier Then They Should If They Are Kept Together?

yes that could happen. but more than that if one gets sick, they both get sick. that is the number 1 reason not to house your bps together. vet bills are expensive enought withought doubleing them for their cage mate just my .02$

How Long Could I Wait Before Separating Them Before The Tried To Breed? I Plan On Making A Second Cage I Just Want To Know How Much Time I Have Before Something Like That Can Happen. (as Far As Them Trying To Breed)

They need to be separated NOW.

Multiple housing can cause various problems such as stress, transmission of diseases and parasites, premature breeding (which could kill the female if she is not proper weight to breed) etc.

As I Said Before I Do Plan On Building A Second Cage, I Do For Sure Want To Separate Them But Im Waiting For The Christmas Season To Pass Before I Spend More Money To Build Another One.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money than just set them up in plastic tubs untill your second cage is build.

well...remember that they feel insecure in large enclosures

The Cage I Have Has Alot Of Hide In It And Looks Damn Near Like A Jungle But Enough That I Can See Whats Going On, They Are Always In Their Separate Hides...do You Think That They Would Still Be Stressed Out In That Enviroment?

how big is it?
