Thanks! That’s just what I needed to talk him out of the original project. He thought my reluctance was because I didn’t want to build such a large cage. I have sent him your answers (backups to my own) and he’s not happy but at least he doesn’t want the nightmare you describe. I have been designing him a large enclosure with separations that he can SLOWLY fill as he becomes more knowledgeable about the individual snakes needs.

He got the original idea from the fact that I have a juvenile Jungle and an Irian Jaya together. BIG difference from the project he wanted!

Thanks again for your help and detailed answers. I’m sure if I had told him no, on my own, he would have just had someone else build his death trap!
