Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have owned and cared for many snakes and other various reptiles in the past including large species but never red tails. Recently, I have developed quite an interest in Red Tails. I see many pictures online and on posts of housing multiple red tails together. Is this ok to do? Is this normal practice and good husbandry? If so do only certain breeds/ genders work together? Any info is appreciated. Also what size cage would you recommend. I have quite a number of cages and enclosures to work with.

i would have to say that keeping multiple red tails together is not common practice and is for lack of better words, frowned upon. i would highly suggest housing animals individually (unless for breeding), to avoid complications

Thanks for the info, as with most herp species thats what I suspected. I was surprised at how common it seems to be with red tails.

i dont really think it is common at all, asside from pet stores and many times shows. when i see them housed together it is almost always young snakes and they are there for display to get sold. i dont see/hear of many people keeping them together asside from breeding.
