Could I house 2 female brazilians - 1 3 months old, about 18" long - 1 5 months old, about 21" long in the same enclosure? If so, what would be the ideal environment for them? Size cage, lights, heat, substrate, hides, water bowl, perches?????? Just looking for everyones opinion.

muddawg,
This is my second attempt at responding to your post.
The short of it is; I think they are too young to be housed together at this point, rubbermaids are great for young BRB's, when you do set them up make sure they have plenty of hides (a great substrate that allows for multitude hiding spots is Orchid bark covered in a thick layer of moss). When housing two or more snakes together feed in a separate bin. You run the risk of both snakes getting sick if one catches something.
I personally think big is definitly better; mine are housed in a 6Lx4Hx3D. In earlier post I've stated my thoughts on heating options, won't beat a dead horse.
BRB's LOVE to climb, give them branches to hang out on. I spray my enclosure down once a day with a pressure sprayer, does the trick.
Hope this helps,
Paul
