Is it safe to house a pair of tree vipers (more specifically T. albolaris) together? Thanks!

never tried that species. However, I did with Eyelashes and it worked well.

...I currently have a male Bothriechis nigrovridis and a much larger male B. lateralis housed together. THey aren't aggressive toward one another and sometimes are coiled together in the branches.
I only did this, because the female lateralis will only take live mice, so I had to remove the male so he wouldn't eat the live feeders. The male is going out on breeding loan soon so, it's only a temeporary arrangement.

I have housed White Lips and Popes together in the same enclousure without any problems.(just be sure they are separated at opposite ends of their exhibit before feeding.) However, housing Wagler/Temple vipers together is not a good idea. They seem to be somewhat aggressive towards each other when one or the other crawls into it's "space".
