Housing BP and brazilian rainbows

[nathandrake]

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

NO, one snake per enclosure.

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...

Ok, i will definately not house my bp and brb's together.

thanks

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.
