That's good to hear. Now just keep a close eye on them both for the next couple months to be sure everything is ok.

My thoughts from my experience housing multiple animals together:

It's less work and less expensive to house them separately when compared to housing them together in a healthy manner.

If you're not spending more money and more time dealing with a multi-snake enclosure than with two separate enclosures, you're not likely giving them optimum care for multi-snake housing.

If your desire to house multiple animals together is driven by something other than conserving money, space, and effort, your motives are misplaced.

Snakes aren't social animals unless it is breeding season. Therefor it only makes sense to decrease their stress and house seperately. Good choice and good luck!

As I stated earlier in past posts,I never intended to house my animals together,I have learned that much,It was simply a question thrown out there to see what the overall opinion was,I realize you may be a veteran Herper now,but i highly doubt you were a pro from the beginning.we all start out green.thats why i am a member here.to learn to be a responsible BP owner
