I understand that keeping 1.1 FWC together might be a problem if they were significantly different in size. I have 1.1 adults on their way and wondered if anybody keeps theirs together. These 2 are both 7-8 feet. Thanks

I wouldnt worry to much about it... Ive had two in a very large terrarium, and they where about 5 and 7 feet, without any problems. Just keep them weel feed, and you should be able to enyo your snakes without any problems...

There have been a few reports by Hydrodnastes keepers that have indicated cannabalism in that species, but if both snakes are similar in size, have a large enclosure, and are kept well fed, I wouldn't forsee any problems.
I would have to go with the precauntionary "canabalism" situation though, I agree if they are well fed, it should not be a real problem. However, There are the issues of disease-one gets sick-the other likely will as well. And close proximity, reduces the stimulation when it comes to encouraging breeding.
