grimreaper Dec 22, 2003 09:19 PM

in all my experiance with snakes, having quite a few diff types of boids, ive been able to put a female and a male 2geather in the same tank from neos to adults with out any injuries, or any problems. right now i have a 2 1/2 female adn i wanted to get a male to put in with her, i figured i better do it now b4 she gets to big. the tank is 7'x2'x2'. its tottaly all natrual looking and she is very healthy. if any of you have seen canabalistic nature in these animals and would strongly not recomend it let me kno.
thanx

Many people house their BRB's together as do I, though just as many others would caution against it because of husbandry and health concerns. I do not believe cannibalism is a real concern with sub-adults and adults but baby BRB's have a strong feeding response and I think its possible for one to eat a litter mate. I think this happened with my litter. After one of my babies first shed it passed a long, thin, hard, crap; I had not fed it yet.
