Just because you don't agree with what she's doing, doesn't mean she's doing anything reckless or wrong so please stop acting like it.

I agree that when you keep two animals together you have to pay more attention to them. I also perfectly understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion. But when your argument is: "what if your snakes get sick", then I'd say you're not as good of a keeper as you thought you were.

One more thing, and correct me if I'm wrong on this. Snakes DO come out and roam their tank. For example, all 4 of my snakes come out in the evening to roam for a bit. This doesn't mean they're stressed. Now if they're out excessively, there might be something wrong. There seems to be a stigma that if you see your BP out, there's something wrong. That's not always the case. Sometimes they explore just because they can. Just saying...

I asked you before on the last thread this came up in, but I didn't notice if you replied, so I'll just ask again here, lol. I really am curious, not attacking you, but what are the benefits to the animal? I just can't see any way it benefits the snakes, and lots of ways it benefits the owner. I really do just want to hear your side of it.

Without any reason why it's good for the snake, I maintain that best practice is keeping them separate. Why risk it? What are the pros when there is a risk of something going wrong?

Also, you're correct, I haven't kept two snakes together, BUT I have seen first hand the results of snakes that were bitten by their cagemate.
