Is it ok to have more than one GTP in the same setup? (large enough for two or more).

just to expand on that...
I've heard males will sometimes fight if in the same cage (Isn't there a website that has pics of the damage done from one male gtp to another?)
Also, it's never a good idea to house multiple snakes together
even if from the same species for the simple facts that if one snake is or gets sick/worms then all the others will get it. Sometimes snakes stress each other out over the best basking spots, etc and stress can cause the non-alpha animal all sorts of problems (not keeping itself at the right temps, not getting access to water, just a general lowering of the immune system due to stress)
Just some of the reasons I can think of not to house them together except in the case of breeding, since that is temporary anyways.
Hope some of that helps.
