    The question has never been couched the way you are couching it - so do me a favor Alex and please don't couch it that way.

    The statement and accompanying question is that snakes cannot be kept together - period. The question was nevershould beginners should keep two snakes together.

    Then that first incorrect statement is backed by incorrect facts:

    - non ophiophagus snakes or snakes that electively practice cohabitation in the wild are prone to cannibalism.
    - that snakes display dominance behavior.
    - that snakes do not cuddle and fight over thermoregulation zones.

    Since you missed the first 1000 posts in which I voluntarily and unequivocally stated that cohabitating is more work and more money and that beginners should avoid it - feel free to petition this post to the moderators as a sticky so that no one may ever again misrepresent my position on this topic.
    You mis-read me I was pointing out that it is more expensive, time consuming and best left to those that have the expertese to do so. I do not. My area is royals with a little spill here and there. I never said that you did not I said you would confirm what I said. It is more expensive You agree, more time consuming, yes, and more costly. I did not think that suggesting it cost more took more time and more experience mis represented you at all. I am sorry if you do not feel this way.
