Yes, you CAN put more than one GTP in a cage. But SHOULD you put more than one together? The answer to that is no.

Thanks for your help. I just only have one cage now so i want to know if i can housing them together.And the answer is no, can you tell the reason? I want to know why.

Mostly they are solitary in the wild and placing two together can cause stress. There is also the chance of disease transmission. There's probably other reasons but those are the most obvious.

well the main reasons would probably be:
If one has a bad defication that shows reason for concern you have no real way of knowing which one did it unless you saw it...

If one gets sick, both get sick...

and these guys are all boxing champs... they will fight, even when breeding some will fight...

they can be housed together, but the stress on the snakes can cause them to stop feeding... I hate dealing with a snake that refuses food...

hope this helps...
