    Young Snakes

    Is it okay to keep young BPs in the same tank? One male one female.At a young age will the bigger BP be dominate? Thanks Mike.

    Mike,

    I would try to keep them seperate, even from the very beginning if possible. It would seem to me that keeping them together only to remove them at a later date would cause undo stress to both pets. The less stress induced on your snakes, the better.
    Later,

    NO! The only time you should keep 2 snakes together is while breeding. You will stress them out and they will go off feed. You will have to seperate them to feed them. More stress. I can go on and on just incase you don't see where I'm going here.

    Re: Young Snakes

    Yea they have to many things that could go wrong, if one snake were to get sick, bam your other one gets it too, not to mention they will stress each other out, I would never recommend keeping them together, unless breeding like they said above.
