I think the better question to answer, guys, is "are there any snakes that a beginner can house together?"

Those of you who mention that you have snakes housed together, how many of you have kept snakes for a decade or more?

I would suggest for anyone who is just starting with snakes, don't try to keep more than one together. You should get the experience of caring for one or two separately first, so that you learn how to "read" your snakes' reactions and can perfect your husbandry.

It would be cool to house more than one snake together, but I'd say if you don't have room to be able to separate them if needed, then just stick with the one or two snakes you've got. If one of the snakes in a multi-snake cage did get sick, you'd have to separate them anyway, quarantine and all that.
