Caging Question

wing Nov 09, 2008 02:59 AM

Is it okay to cage different colored kingsnakes together, like, Mexican Black with Albino Nelson with Pastel king snake with gray banded? I don't have one but I've always wondered this.

Not really. There is always a chance that one could eat the other. Also, you could accidentally breed them, creating mutts. I believe the most practical answer, though, is that it is harder to keep track of shedding and medical issues if you have multiple animals in one enclosure. How do you know who regurgitated? Who has the weird looking feces? Who is constipated and hasn't pooped in a month? Etc, etc...
