Now that you have my attention, please enlighten us as to the size of the snakes, the size of the "tank", how you are going to heat it, the number of hides you are going to use and what your feeding strategy is.

Oh, and while you are at it, explain your quarantine procedure for the second snake you are about to obtain.

You are full of questions - which is good, but you do not have the husbandry skills or the experience to do this, so don't

Sorry, I just assumed that since I started the thread you were trying to answer my question is all...

The 2 snakes are babies, both of them are no longer than about 16-18" long. The tank I am using (until I get the 100 Gallon I have on layaway) is a 30" long terrarium, my current baby has wayyyyyy more room than needed at the moment. So that answers your tank size question.

As for quarantine, I have a smaller 10 gallon tank I will use until he gets used to this place and I make sure hes not sick or doesn't have any mites, so on and so forth.

Once the 2 are joined in the same tank, I will then have 3-4 hides (there only 2 as of now). The tank is heated with a decent sized UTH that will also soon have a thermostat hooked up to it, and the bedding will be switched from red bard to aspen, I know you didn't ask about that, but I figure I would throw it in as well .

Last, but most certainly not least, I am going to be tanking the snakes out, once a week on different days of the week to feed them in their own container that will NEVER be used by the other snake, each one gets their own personal container for feeding. I am thinking, 1 gets fed on Tuesdays and the other gets fed on Fridays, this way there is enough time in between feedings that I can see which snake is the one whom defecated so I know if they are getting blocked up or not.

The tank is huge for baby snakes, its not like I am using a 5Gallon to keep them both in, I think the terrarium could hold like 30-40 gallons of water. which is a good size for now!!!
