Keeping Young Kenyans Togther

goodymcnear Aug 18, 2006 04:58 PM

I currently have a late '05 Kenyan Sand Boa and was wondering if it would be wise to house it with an '06. My '05 is about a foot and the '06 is about 9-10 inches. The dealer of the '06 warned me that keeping young Kenyans together could make them jumpy and agressive. (Hard to believe, as they are so ridiculously adorable.) Would it be possible to house these two together or should they be kept apart?

All advice is welcome, thanks!

Could depend a lot on the individuals and how you house them. I've kept KSB's in group caging for years. All sizes, mixed sexes, ect.. I've never tried mixing animals with large size differences (except adults of course.) If your animals aren't edgy, I don't think there should be a problem as long as they have enough space and can both access heat at the same time. Another thing to remember is that you will have to feed them in separate containers.
