Is it ok to house a male and female together all the time if your cage in big enough.

Thanks Ronnie

No just no, male & females should stay put in there OWN enclosures, aside from the dangers that you can get from housing 2 snakes together (stress,cannabalism, If one is sick the other gets it also) a male and a female just wont do. They most likely will breed you unwanted babies and/or the male will keep trying to breed with the female and stress her out to the point where she just ins't the snake you got (personallity wise). So just don't do it, also say if one regurges a meal, how would you know which one regurgitated a meal? Or if you see bleeding on the substrate but when you check both of them there isn't any signs of bleeding, then which one bled? Just don't do it, newbies shouldn't I mean.
