Almost everyone on here will tell you that separation is in the best interest of the snakes. Can you keep multiple snakes together? why sure you can. But in my opinion, it is not worth the risks.

They are NOT social animals. They do NOT benefit from being housed together in ANY way. The only reason I can think of for housing them together is because it is "easier" for the keeper (less equipment to buy).

No offense but you seem to think you know everything about these animals. I surely don't, and you probably don't either judging by what you have said in this thread so far.

I can tell you what is happening with your snakes though. The males have reached sexual maturity. They will combat for dominance and they probably won't stop. Do you really think this is a good environment to keep your snakes in? Fighting all the time?

Trial and error has proven to us that housing separately is more beneficial for the health and overall well being of the snakes. They are more confident eaters, more laid back and relaxed, and they don't have to compete with other snakes for the best spot in the tank.



Females don't usually combat. It is usually the males combating for the female. I do have a few questions for you. Is your female (do you even have one?) snake of proper weight to breed? If she does breed and is underweight, she could get egg bound and DIE. What would you do with the babies if they were hatched successfully? Do you have the room to keep up to 6 more snakes?

If you are just "letting nature do its thing" you are being careless. You are risking the health and safety of your animals.

As for thermostats. Get a Johnson controls or Ranco thermostat from reptile basics. This is the most crucial piece of equipment and you really must have a thermostat when running any type of heating device. If not you risk burning or COOKING your animals.

I really can't stress it enough. You are putting your snakes in quite a bit of danger by keeping them together. This is really all just my opinion but that seems to be what you are asking for, peoples opinions.
