    Housing BP and brazilian rainbows

    Would it be possible to house an adult BP with two adult brazilian rainbows. It would be a 8'x2'x2' enclosure.

    Please tell me if this is a horrible idea, I just like the idea of a huge cage with more than one animal than small ones with one animal.

    THanks

    Not only is it a poor idea to house snakes communally other than by very experienced people for very specific purposes, it's especially bad to do so with mixed species.

    1 snake = 1 enclosure is the safest way for you and for your snakes.

    Ok thanks for the quick replies.
    Would I even be able to house the brb's in the same enclosure?

    I wouldnt, snakes are solitary animals. Im not aware of any species of snakes that live in "communities" in the wild.

    not to mention the vastly different husbandry requirements...

    Horrible idea.

    1# Snakes do better house alone they are solitary animal and do not require companionship.
    2# Different husbandry requirements.
    3# Transmission of diseases and or parasites.
    4# Possibility of cannibalism.
