Housing Watersnake species together.....

AdamDispenza Apr 19, 2004 10:53 AM

I have a Florida Banded Water Snake and I was wondering if it is possible to house other Florida watersnakes (for example, a Florida Green Water and a Brown Water)together? I have seen it done at a local Reptile Dealer and all the snakes look happy and unconcerned with one another. What do you think? Thanks.

One snake per tank. Disease, parasites, stress...all reasons not to do it. What is the benifit? Saving like 10 bucks? Just go buy a rubbermaid or sterlite and fix it up.
