You knew I was going to jump on this didn't you, lol. As he said there is a risk involved. Just today as luck would have it, or bad luck actually. I had a pair of Brooks together for several days for breeding porpuses. I wanted to separate them and feed them. Well, the female caught a whiff of the rats that were near by and she went into feeding mode! She grabbed the male and began to constrict. I had to break up the party. I'm not making this up. So the risk is there. I personally have kept hobby Sinloans together, and I currently keep a trio of Thayeri/Ruthies together. Yes it can be done! Would I do it with a one of a kind expensive breeder that would be hard to replace? Absolutely not. My beef here is usually with people throwing out this info that it's ok, and having it seen by a newbe with one pair of Easterns or whatever, and then ending up with one fat snake. I as well as others here have lost kings that were eaten by it's cagemates. So if you feel like rolling the dice go ahead. Like I said I have done it and am currently doing it. But I have years of experience and I let my instincts guide me on which ones I can do it with. Newbies don't have those instincts yet, but maybe that's how you get them? By making mistakes and learning from them!
