Terrarium question...

md42007 Jun 06, 2004 04:18 PM

I am hoping to build a double snake terrarium. with a fully self sufficient ecosystem. Here is my question.. I have a ball python for snake # 1... Can anyone reccomend a boid that will live with him peacefully. Also another requisite would be size he could not outgrow the ball python he would have to be a relative size give or take a foot. I have my eye on a hog island but i am still unsure of there maximum size. Any opinions or knowledge of this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

to keep 2 snakes together. I'm no expert but everything I've read says not to keep 2 or more snakes, esp different species, together. Snakes are solitary creatures except when they want a mate. They will get stressed. I've heard ball pythons can be picky feeders so adding another snake to his teritory might make things worse. :0)

Just my opinion...
