Don't worry about opening the can O worms. That's something that's not going to stop here on this forum. Look at it as getting a balanced report. Rosy will only say great things about anything he does so take it with a grain of salt. I will tell you it can be done, I have done it in the past and I am currently housing a trio of adult Brooks together since last winter. I do have lot's of others to replace them should something go wrong, and I do realize there is a risk. I did loose cage mates in the past, as well as others on this forum. That is the only reason we step in to give new keepers both sides of the issue. Rosy did post a long list a while back of all the do's and don'ts, I wish I would hae saved it. He mentioned some already.
introduce them during winter,
don't bond them as adults,
never bond hatchlings,
feed them all they can devour,
snakes should be about the same size,
there was more but I can't remember all of it. All these things are to reduce the chances of one eating the other. They do eventually become comfortable with each other and this does take the guess work out of breeding, but don't get too busy and forget to feed them, cause their instincts will kick in. Again enjoy, and post some pics when you get a chance. I'd love to se them.
