:( feeding probs

[Danny]

I'm no expert but I will try to put them together, see how they react towards each other. I know people that keep more than one bp in a tank, as long as it's big enough for the two they should be fine. I'm keeping all three of mine in a 4'x2' tank. Even tough they all have their own hiding spot, they all curl into a "ball" in one hiding spot. Mine are WC, they don't show any aggression towards each other. Yours shold be fine. Good Luck.

Also when your ready to buy a new cage/tank here some links: http://aircapitalconstrictors.com/moonstruck.html

I personally reccomend a glass cage. I've kept burms, boa constrictors, ball pythons and taiwan beautys in glass cages without any problems. The only drawback is that their kind of heavy, specially the 4x2' & the 6'x3'. If you go into the first link I'm member there look for me my name there is "boapythonfool".

Danny -- are all your bp's full grown?

[Danny]

No, the biggest one is 30in. However, in the past I've kept a "big" female that was 5ft or so with two males in my 6'x3' tank. The males were around 36in-40in, never did they "fight" or anything. I use to let them roam my living room for 2-3 hours when I got home from work and in the summer I use them let them roam in my backyard. I regret getting rid of them til' this day , specially the female.

[invadertoast]

Aww, why'd you get rid of them? The reason I asked about their size is because now I've gotten the idea in my head to build a custom cage for two adults this summer, and am wondering what a good size would be. I wanna use an old cabinet stereo that's been gutted or something along those lines. Oh, and did the males bother the female at all?

[Danny]

Hi Lindsay,
I don't even wanna remember the reason that I got rid of them, it was a big mistake . Anyways I think that the cabinet stereo would do fine as long as it's 4'+ and if you take them out to explore at least 3 days a week. By the way, no the males didn't bother the female.

peanut ate the rat.

[Ironhead]

Good peanut! He forgive's you.

(He would act hungry 2 or 3 days after he ate, so I would feed him again!)

How do you tell if they act hungry? Do they slide around like they're looking for another one? How do you tell if they're actually looking or just exploring?

Well, all of my snakes sleep peacefully during the day. I never see them come out of their hide boxes unless they are taking a swig of water, but even then it's straight there and back. When I see one out and about for about an hour, I pretty much presume he is bored, restless, hungry, or something. So I give him something to do and put a rat in there for him Then he's back in his hide digesting his meal. Of course, I didn't mean I KNOW he is hungry, but if he wasn't, he wouldn't take down a meal.
