Just a quick Question

Miss_Ahart Mar 30, 2010 06:05 PM

I own 3 retic's all around the same size, 10ft female normal, 10ft albino het lavander female, and a 8ft tiger het calico male. I house my two females together in the same enclosure. its a huge custom made tank. 6ft tall X 6ft long X 5 wide. its huge i can walk into it. they both have the seperate areas. 2 branches to climb on to if they choose, 2 water dishes big enough to soak in and 2 hide hummidity boxes for them to use whenever they choose. but i just want to make sure that they wont try and hurt eachother. cause they mostly stick to them selfs although i catch them cuddleing with eachother in a hide box or on a log under the heat lamps.

I love my girls and i want nothing to happen to them. i want them to be happy and have enough space to grow. i house my male in a vison tank. when i decide to even try and breed them i was just going to introduce the female to male in he is tank and let them work there own magic together.

i just want my snakes happy and healthy.
any comments or suggestion would be really great. thank you.

its always best to house snakes separately regardless of sex. there can be territory issues and feeding issues when in the same enclosure

Totally agree with Reticguy. Snakes are solitary animals and keeping them together is an accident waiting to happen. If you are feeding retics out of their cages that is a disaster waiting to happen. Bill
