ever hear of this happening?

t pos eanting a male t pos cause they were kept and fed in the same cage. Davey G.who sometimes posts here has picture he will probably post when he see's this post, of one of his neonates that ate a sibling. It happens, but i'd be crying for weeks if it happened with my t pos. That was when they first came out also so you no he payed 30k plus for that pair! YIKES!

yeah its gonna suck having to tell my wife one of her snakes ate the other, seeing as she is out of town on vacation

I saved the url's from the last time he posted them:

Davey Giltners 2 baby bci, each ate one mouse, then one ate the other. Both died.

19.19 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

I was housing two babies together this year while waiting for additional caging and had an anery het snow eat a hypo triple het male. she kept it down for 5 days and threw it up in two pieces. she's fine now and eats great(that's never been a problem).

Boas are not generally cannibalistic but can mistake a cage mate for food if there is movement and a scent of food on/around the other animal.

sorry about your loss, I feel your pain.

I ALMOST learned the hard way with a couple of Carpets. They both got the same mouse and I had to rip the mouse in half because I couldn’t get them off of it without the chance of loosing some teeth.

On a more discussing note, there is a picture of a corn that died eating its own tail. I believe it’s in Love’s book.

Good luck with the wife and my sincere condolences.
