Can you house them together, that's entirely your choice but you asked for opinions, and I daresay, that the opinion of most of the membership here will be to advise you to house them individually.

Domination means there's a winner and a loser. The loser will be stressed. Stressed leads to a weakened immune system, which leads to illness, which leads to both being sick because they are sharing everything (hides, water dishes, etc) which leads to double the vet bill, etc - which can all be avoided by housing them individually. Is it REALLY worth it?

I think it's time that you invest in a rack system, there are ones in the DIY section, and they are pretty inexpensive to build :)

No, she's saying that all your snakes, regardless of sex, need to be housed in separate enclosures.

Its whats safer for the animals, and for yourself. If one animal is sick, they all get sick. If they're seperated, and one gets sick, you can keep it away from your other animals to avoid further infections.

Listen to the people on this board, we know what were talking about most the time, and if not, we don't hesitate to recommend a vet visit.

I hope some of us didn't come off too strong and make you mad, we're very passionate about these animals, and just want what's best.

O trust me ive been working on getting all the stuff for a rack i guess just now curious on what kinda wood should i use to build the rack out of

Thank god we got through this one without having to see "the picture" again.

Once you get a rack built, you'll love it. When do we get to see pics of the snakes? We love pics.
Seperating them, you'll probably see more weight put on per feeding. Any stress burns calories, and you'd rather have those calories going to grow snake.
