Hey all. I have caught the snake bug and would like to maybe add a new member to my collection by the end of the year. I am thinking about getting a RBI rack that holds 3. That way, I can satisfy my craving but the investment won't let me go CRAZY because I just don't have the space for more than that at this point in my life.
I have no intention to breed any time in the near future. THAT bug hasn't bit me yet. Not saying it won't, just not yet. If I do get two more snakes and they are housed in the same rack (not same tub obviously, just the same rack) are there any consequences of keeping both genders that close to each other without letting them breed? I am sure they can smell each other's pheromones come breeding time. I am just wondering if for the time being, I should stick to all females (my normal is a female), or would getting a male be ok, even if I am going to deprive the poor things of good time? Just curious, I know very little about snake breeding and behavior come breeding time. I just think they are beautiful animals and love having them as pets, I'm just not financially experientially ready to breed yet.
