So it's not a problem to house them together, but when one got sick you separated them... Hmm. So you think maybe if housing them separately could prevent both snakes getting sick together, and costing you double in vet bills, that's not reason enough to always house separate, besides other legitimate reasons? And if you didn't want people to comment on your housing situation then you shouldn't have made a specific number in a list on a thread titled HELP! We are helping. Regardless of you resizing it or not. Did you atleast get the other snake a culture swab? If not, and your vet didn't even suggest it sort of diminishes her credibility.
