Input on multiple snakes in one tank.

[Spaniard]

The great thing about this hobby is that there is no exact science about how to do things. I myself still firmly believe that housing one snake per enclosure is the best for the snake's health.

It eliminates many variables that may cause an animal not to thrive to the fullest. While we may not be able to prove dominance issues we can certainly eliminate it from our equation if we choose to do so.

With that said you will find many people that have housed snakes together for many years without a problem. It has its risks (illness transfer, possible dominance issues) but it can be done. Its up to the keeper to make a informed decision on what route they want to take.

Just to be fair, let's not forget this post. No need to back that up with scientific research. It's his choice and opinion which is what the OP was asking for at the start of this thread, I believe.
