Housing

Can you house two hognose snakes together? Other then the obvious issues of passing diseases will they eat each other?

Also, what are the sizes for the different types?

why would you want to house them together anyways? Two males will fight, two females will possibly fight, and a male/female could impregnate the female to soon and egg bind her.

It is WAY to easy to go get a rubbermaid, or even a kritter keeper, to be housing them together.

Snakes are solitary creatures in the wild. It's just a lot easier for all parties involved (snakes and humans) if you house them seperately. Good luck!

They can be cannibalistic. Any snake is the right shape to eat another snake. And it has happened. Better not to risk it.
