two in one 20 long?

Underachiever Aug 22, 2004 09:39 PM

Just a question? can two nelsons be housed in one 20 long. the female is about 2ft and the male is about 1.5ft they are in seperate cages now but i took a look at the space i have left for more cages.....and im running out. The sand boas are housed together and they are doing fine. will it work with milksnakes.
Just trying to find away to fit another cage in(tangerine hondo incomin)

From everything I've read.....NO. It's not a good idea to keep any snakes together unless your going to breed. They will get stressed, not eat, if one has parasites could pass them to the other. Some snake will eat other snake too so you may end up with one.

i figured it wouldnt work with milks but i just had to ask. the sands seem to prefer it. they curl up next to each other and sleep in the warm spot of their tank and then at night they roam their mini desert. thnx for the info.
