I love these snakes and I wish I could give you great news but the truth is that these snakes when imported usually have a parasite load. On top of that they are very nervous and high strung which can add to the problem by way of stress. They should at minimum be treated with Panicure and Flagyl which is what is often called the shot gun aproach. But a qualified vet will know exactly what treatment to give. It would be best to house separately if possible but they each require large cages. These are very arboreal snakes and need plenty of room and branches and hiding spots. The two that I had did good for a couple months then one started refusing food and getting thin, Then the other started doing the same. Good Luck, oh and if you haven't already found out, they are quite nippy and have a far reach, lol!
