>>Very good information Colchicine. I think this question is raised atleast once a week over on the corn forum. You have folks that say they have done it for years. Good for them. So long as they understand that there is a "Risk" It's not worth it to me.

I think there is a difference between snakes simply living together and being fed together while in the same enclosure. When I have multiple snakes living in an enclosure I never feed them in it. I always remove them to separate feeding containers. After they have eaten, they get put back (together) to their normal enclosure. I have not had problems with this method. The snakes recognize the difference between a feeding container and their living quarters. They are not trying to attack each other when back in their living quarters. Now, each snake does have their own feeding container and I do try to make sure only that snake is ever put into it.
