multiple snakes in same tank

[wilomn]

Does visiting a shady pet store every few days count as experience? Then yes, I have seen a bunch of snakes in one cage, seen smaller snakes, dead on the bottom of a pile of ball python hatchlings kept with larger animals.

I never said that one snake will not go to an area because it's already occupied, but there is definitely some competition going on to get one up on the other snake to absorb the most heat from the lamp.

That's just my experience with multiple snakes in one cage.




Where are your facts?

I know you can question us, that's fine, but then tell us WHY they are all together in that termite mound? Is it overcrowded population? Breeding? Best spot perceived from predators? Best area to find rodents quickly? What time of year was it and were they in a group conserving heat and humidity?

And just so we are clear... a social animal in my mind is an animal that needs companionship from another animal of the same species to thrive and keep it's social order in a group, almost to the point of a society, being interactive with known members.

THIS is your source? ONE pet store? One lousy pet store?

Wow.

Have you read ONE book? Do you need ONE caresheet to know all there is to know?

Have you considered that there may be different results at another pet store?

Do you ever look up or do you always watch your shoes as you walk?

So, basically, from what I can gleen off your posts, you have nothing factual to base any of your assumptions on. You have seen snakes piling on eachother, deads included which really should eliminate the object from the study to begin with, in a lousy pet store.

Am I correct here? You really have nothing other than YOUR own opinion to base your statements on?

Have YOU ever personally kept more than one snake in a tank? Do you know anyone who has?

I think my rambling point really was - no one should feel that they can't disagree with any of the staff members - just because they are staff. Look - Wes already has!

Ummm, technichally, Wes is seeking the source of the information being posted and he has not yet voiced an opinion.
