Antaresia (Childrens or Spotted Python)

[Cheesenugget]

SO... I have been debating internally on what the next species I get will be. I still don't know if I am going to get another Blood Python or not. But my second choice is a python from Antaresia (Childrens or Spotted Python). I can keep these long term in my VE-6. Plus they are easy to breed. Now I have been reading that these snakes can cohab. I have the room to keep them seperate. I just wanted to know if there is any reason to keep them together? The tub they will be in is more than large enough to keep 2 of these in it. I know that normally people say do not cohab any snakes, but in a few different caresheets about these pythons mention cohabbing. So is this species different than most others? I would like an answer from someone who actually has experience with snakes in this Genus(not sure if this is the right thing to call it). I know according to everything I read about snakes in general mention cohabbing garter snakes, but nothing on Antaresia. I believe that is probably because it isn't a very common species. I would appreciate any advice.

I would also like anyone with experience keeping these guys to chime in about husbandry and temperment please.

Thanks.

I have a Childreni.

Do not cohab them. These snakes eat reptiles as well as mammals in the wild.

Tubs are not recommended for them. These are semi arboreal snakes who like to climb.

29 gallon tall tank at minimum for adults, or even bigger for females.
5.5 gallon tank for babies.
Hot spot at about 88F.
Cool side no lower than 75F.
No higher than 30% humidity.
Aspen for substrate. Babies may burrow. Adults prefer to climb.
2 identical hides, one on each side.

Pros: great eaters, small size, very cute, naturally beautiful, hardy as heck, easy to care for, mistakes are easily forgiven, captive bred only in the market, very affordable, gaining popularity in the US market, no known morphs for sale in the US yet so that could be a plus for those seeking to keep only wild types, and unique for being one of the few smallest pythons in the world being kept as a popular pet.

Cons: I do not recommend this snake for first time snake owners because of the potential for biting. They have a reputation for being nippy as babies and that was true for me. It is not like a baby corn: they bite with force and can be relentless at the start. I was bitten by mine about 15 times in one handling session, and I did nothing to him prior but sitting there motionless and quiet, and he was calm minutes prior, so having some experience in reading snake behavior helps but be prepared for several nips and bites. They move fast when they want to, from calm to strike. They also have a powerful grip. I do not recommend them for shows or to be handled by children unless you have a very well tempered adult snake, even that is risky.

Idk where you got your sources from. I rely mainly from the ones who breed, keep them privately or in zoos, and studies completely in Australia. They know their Childreni.
