Hey Chris, in my opinion (and I'm sure many others here will agree) putting the two of them together is a BAD idea. This will just cause more stress on your little one. I've been keeping snakes almost 30 years, and I have never seen a non-eater get stimulated by the sight of a feeding snake. Please don't do that. Stick with ways to reduce stress in your baby's environment and one of the best things you could do is change that substrate to something that he can burrow in. They like to have something touching all around their bodies including their backs, so even if you have 5 hides in that tank, but none of them offers contact on his sides and back, they are really doing very little good for your snake. Also, astroturf just plain sucks in general and I would suggest switching that out to something more absorbent whenever you get a chance, even paper towels or newspaper with a layer of finely shredded paper on top would offer your little one more security than astroturf. Again, good luck!



>>lol..i apprecaite it...and i appreciate everyone's help...but nothing is working so far . I have him in just about the most stress-free environment I can give him. I think i'll keep this towel covering the cage for this next week..see if it does any good! lol. Tomorrow evening if he hasnt eaten that pink i'll put him up in the kritter keeper then when the hurricane's gone...probably friday before the stores are back open...i'll go get some aspen and use that for a substrate.

>>I have questioned maybe putting the two snakes together in the 10 gallon and i dont remember why but I had a few people say no to that. I feed f/t normally also...I just dont like live.
