Feeding In Separate Tub

Thankfully, the OP had the sense to read multiple opinions and choose to follow the advice of experienced people who share because they care. This thread is a great example of somebody new to the world of snake keeping potentially being misled by somebody who has some far out thoughts. This is a public forum where many voices can be heard, and I always suggest to anybody, new or not, to get your advice from multiple sources before putting anything into action.

If people choose to listen to one random person online, we would be risking a situation where multiple animals of multiple species including snakes, cats, etc... roam free in the same rooms where children are. This is NOT a safe situation for the children or the animals. This is the type of situation that leads to injuries or worse to the children and the animals. Not to mention paint another ugly picture this hobby doesn't need. It's not a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN. You hang around clowns long enough, you're going to get some paint on your face...

We would be risking new keepers thinking because they saw it online it's ok to cohabitate multiple reptiles in the same enclosure. Granted, this works for some species, but that's a horse of a different color. Again, NOT a safe situation for the animals. And NOT good advice to be sharing on a forum where new people come to learn.

OP, good on you for doing your research and weeding out the information that you decided wasn't best for you and your animal.
