I'm wondering if ANYONE can give a simple yes or no answer without extrapolating endlessly on their personal point of view.
The OP did not ask why or why not, simply if it could be done.

No they didn't, but a simple yes or no would suffice. If he replied asking why not or something then it would of been more appropriate to say try to search as the topic as been discussed before. I'm just thinking outside of the box, which it would do good for a lot of people. Simple things like that can avoid offending people or hurting their feelings and would help the site grow more. That person just registered today and one of the first experiences you want them to have is a negative one, and it may of been the last time they asked advice or came to the site.
Let me put it retrospect:
I ask about housing two BP's together and I get all these people telling me to learn to search, or go use search function or whatever the case may be. So I as a new member feel like I was just disregarded and that for asking a simple question people were quite rude so I don't use the site anymore and I keep the BP's together. Then an issue happens or something happens and one of the snakes die while in my care so I stop keeping snakes(congrats there is another person out of the hobby that could of contributed to great things). Then I know other people that have snakes and they have questions and ask me because they knew I used to keep snakes, well I tell them not to go to that BP.net site because members were really rude to me and made me feel stupid when I asked a question, so I tell the other people to not even bother with that site(congrats again, there goes a few members, and possibly a few dead snakes from improper husbandry).
Well of those few people that could of been great members, contributed lots of things over the years, or that one person that asked that question about housing snakes together could be the person that would of made the difference in passing a law about snakes or what not.
All I'm saying is that us as veteran members take the time out to try to help people, instead of disregarding them and telling them to go search something, why not search it for them? We know how to navigate the site better then any of them so we know how to find what they're looking for, and they may of tried to search something, and maybe misspelled something in the search and they came up with no results, who knows? The saying two heads are better than one was a wise saying. How hard is it to say, yes or no to that question that was asked, or even to go into a detail briefly. No I wouldn't house them together because it can irritate them and even with a large enough enclosure, we'd be talking about something the size of a room in a house and then you'd have issues with heating. That section in bold is a simple 38 words which took me all of two minutes at most to type and it answers the question. Think outside the box, put yourself in the other persons shoes.

How would you know if they were irritated? Would they tell you?

When they stop feeding and get really aggressive then it wouldn't need to be said. Also I said it can irritate them, I never said it will.

You ASSume much.
The flip side of that coin, which for me is still tumbling midair, is that spoonfeeding a newb sets them up for further pablum pushing. It's not rude to ask or tell someone to use the search function, which, if I recall correctly, I did not do. In fact, I made no inference one way or the other in this instance.
You ASSume that this person will be put off, but, were I to make an ASSumption of my own, I would tend to think they would be appreciative of the candor and forthrightness of being informed that the asked for information is readily available, that they would appreciate being treated as an adult and being informed that this is a well discussed topic in no need of regurgitation for one newbs edification.
Perhaps this is simply another troll looking for food. That is exactly as likely as your "new law" writer theory.
If you are put off by a simple answer to an oft asked and oft discussed question, then perhaps you are too tender to play on the internet.

These don't really seem logical. Some of mine go off feed and some can be aggressive. I keep all mine separate.

Well when I say irritated I meant stressed, just a wrong choice of words. It's common sense that a stressed animal can become aggressive or go off feeding. Though they can do either or. I'm just saying.
You and I have never got along so you're ASSume thing trying to be sneaky only makes you look like a pansy. I'll have the balls to say if you want to throw around insults I'll give you my address so you can say it to my face. Go ahead and give me the infraction now.
