Input on multiple snakes in one tank.

[Skiploder]

ime, i've never seen multiples attempt to dominate each other. as mentioned earlier, i've noted from observation that multiples will share a hide if that is the optimal spot for them at that time. i've never witnessed any fighting or attempts at domination from housing together. sure, it's generally accepted that individual housing is best. however, it's also pretty much common practice for sellers and shops to house together, several of one species per habitat. i've never heard of a dominance issue with bp's from multiple housing.

This doesn't mean necessarily that two snakes shouldn't be kept together.

It means that not enough hides were made available.

Multiple snakes can be housed together - but several things should be considered:

- the species of the snakes involved
- the ages of the snakes
- the size of the enclosure
- the number of hides available in the various thermoregulation zones

There are several species of snakes where breeders and keepers, oftentimes, house them together.

Just because it's easier to house them independently doesn't mean you have to.

Would I recommend housing multiple animals together? No. But not because of some behavioral study that has never been conducted or for the propagation of some internet conventional wisdom. I recommend it only because it is EASIER to house animals singly.
