Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ive heard that its been done before. I have 2 young individuals together now. They are supposed to be "bonding" but the female, who is the carpet, absolutley despises the male scrub. Also, they are both Papuan locality and are both high green and irridecent. I know its been done with australian blood lines but I havent heard much about it. Any input or a pic would be awesome.
Thanks
Jason

Ive always done it. Zoos do it. If you understand the behaviors and tendencies of a species it is acceptable. Scrubs are largely immune to parasites, both internal and external and do not prey on cold blooded animals. Also, early cohabitation is a breeding strategy. The animals have to know and essentially like each other to breed, especially in hybriding. I intend on separating them around the breedin season while they are still too young to breed, but they will be put back together for the remainder of the year. In my mind, as long as you monitor the animals DAILY there is minimal risk of health problems or injury. I understand many of you guys have tons of individual animals and daily care is nearlly impossible, but my tiny collection affords the animals a greater degree of special treatment. Heres to the individual! thanks for responding, Jason

im actually sick of hearing about how not to cohabitate when in almost all instances of my herping i find multiple animals under the same cover. yes to a degree their is some danger of disease and cannibalism but if fed properly and maintained properly, i feel their is slim to no danger. but it does double the work load on that tank when their are two snakes to a cage

It may take me some time to track down the pics but there was only ever one Scrub cross available in NA for many years until a clutch of Tanimbar Scrub X Jungle carpet was hatched. Then the next year there was a Moluccan X Coastal Clutch produced. They are pretty wild looking snakes for sure.
