The pros and cons on this topic bring to mind my neighbor's opinion of his big ass mean Rottweiler; "Oh, he wont bite, he's very friendly!" Yeah, sure...

Anyway, I used Tad's article as a resource when I decided to put my adult pyros in trios at brumation last fall. I also have some pits in pairs. I did subsequently remove one female pyro to her own habitat as she was smaller than the other female and the male, and she did not seem at ease in their company, always hiding in the moss hide instead of being coiled together like the other trio. Babies and juveniles are separate. I feed often. Never feed any of my snakes in their habitats or together.

So far so good. Am newbie, with much to learn about these wonderful animals, so the only advice I would add is be vigilant.
