There was a post a while back on the boa forum with pictures, I can't find it, where two siblings were kept together. After they were each fed a mouse seperately, they were put back in the same tub. The smaller of the two ATE the larger one. Never got an answer what eventually happened to the winner, it may have died as well. It did eat two mice and a larger sibling all in one day.

Morals of the story are:

1) Duh, safer to keep seperate
2) Having same size animals does not always mean they will leave each other alone.


Way back when before I knew better I kept a corn along with a larger gopher. The corn chewed on the gopher and left some nasty wounds.
