thanks,

Here's my take on it..they probably could be housed together but why?..if one should regurge...which one was it?..out of two..you have a 50% chance of knowing which one-that didn't get the nutrition it needs,(not to mention why) but,if you had three to the cage..33%..four..well..you get the idea..spend the extra bucks for another cage and buy your piece of mind..your their keeper..if you won't who will?

no not THAT one

And you may not even know.
I had two cal kings housed together (risky but can be done if well fed) - I saw one regurge. I went to another room to get the paper towels and stuff to clean it up and by the time I got back, the other was already eating the regurge.

I decided my old sig was too big.

Someone recently posted pics of one Pituophis hatchling eating another...and yes, I'd say a shoebox will be suitable housing size for a hatchling.
