Can I keep 2 BP females differnt age and size together?

Can I keep 2 BP females differnt age and size together?
One is 1yr old 27inch and the other is a baby 4months old 18 or 19 inches

No.. this is not advisable. best bet is to use the search feature and see all the threads that discuss this topic. You can read about all the reasons why not to house snakes together. disease, cannibalism, stress are the biggest reasons. please for the health and safety of your snakes, dont do it. get seperate homes for each.

1 snake one enclosure. Same sex, differenent size, doesn't matter, housing two snakes in one enclosure is not a good idea. Health issues, dominance issues, just not good.

Can you? Yes
Should you? No

They do not need nor desire companionship, and the end effect will be un-needed stress on one or both animals. Cuddling is actually a struggle for domination for the best perceived spot in the enclosure.

There's absolutely no benefit to housing them together.

You beat me to it. That is almost exactly what I was going to write. However, I thought they way I put it would have come across a bit more sarcastic.

well,...in that case :cool: I suppose it is a good thing that I have 2 separate enclosures

Not if you want me to come over there and smack your bottom!
There will be none of that housing multiple snakes together around here sonny boy!
They can get sick much easier if you do it. So it's best not too... and they might even get stressed and not eat or poo or they could even give you bigger problems then that!

But do keep your stick on the ice!!! ROCK ON!

GO FOR IT :gj:

just kidding

Are you threatening to not spank her/him(?) if she DOES house her snakes together? As in witholding spankings if she houses them together?

Hehe...I know you probably meant to say: "Not unless you want me to come over there and smack your bottom" ("unless" instead of "if"). Hehe...oh, English language, you crack me up!

yea yea yea, thats what I was trying to say! lol
I'm multi tasking (working and playing)... and I'm a man! Doesn't usually go very well!
Thanks for the correction! lol

There are quite a few members from MA (and others from CT, NH and NY!). New England and Texas seem to have lots of BP.Net representatives :)

I'm glad to see that you say you have two separate enclosures for your BPs. :)
