I have # 3 Oregon Red Spots, they have lived together in a 5ft x 5ft enclosure for over 3 yrs,they are always fed seperate and i have never had any problems with them being together. This AM i had to split them up due to female trying to swallow a male.i am not sure why this problem would start after being together so long.
any advice would be great...
thanks

This is why I cage separately.Eventually they will fight or eat each other.This happens with all snakes.They can be together for ten years in peace.Then one day you have a really fat snake and the other one is missing.why take the chance?
