i don't know how closely you all read my post, but the male has a slow feeding response (he takes aim and all that for a minut or two usualy) and i do feed them seperatly anyways just to make sure. i'd be lieing if i said i haven't tried feeding them together, but it was in the name of science (for me anyways, and potentialy for you) and i found that the big one won't even waste a strike at a mouse so i feed the smaller one first, once she's eating she's not paying any attention to anything else, i could even pick her up while she's eating and she'll never regurgatate or stop eating meanwhile the bigger one has no idea (or response anyways) and i could then feed him without problem. BUT if i feed the big one first, the samller one sees the action and tries to go after the rat. sooo if you take extra special care and have an extra spacey cage, you could have very good luck with keeping two snakes together.









and about the male "waiting" for the female to grow. it's like the old saying goes. "it's not what you say it's what you prove", so i'm gonna keep on paying close attention to there behavior, and hopefully i'll figure something out. i personaly think the boa constrictors are smarter then we think.
