I have already stated, about 1000 times, that keeping snake communally is "more" on every level - money, time and general difficulty.
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 never
should 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.
