baby ribbon and adult redside

[IndigoBug1987]

I just got a baby ribbon and its only about 6-7 inches long. (maybe not that babyish but still) My snake Slithers is bordering 2ft. Is it ok to house them together? Right now they are in seperate tanks.

I do not think that would be a good idea, your larger snake might think the baby ribbon was food. I wouldn't risk it.

[Stefan-A]

I wouldn't.

Bad idea! The little one will end up inside the big one!

[drache]

congrats on the new ribbon, and ditto above advice

[gregmonsta]

Keep them apart until the little one catches up a bit more.

I would concur with the advice given.
Same size housing is always the safe bet.

I would have to agree with the others.Wait

I had no idea! I thought they didn't eat other snakes! anyway they will stay separate for a while cuz ribben is very small and slithers is 23inches! my baby ribbon took minced pinkies on her first feeding im so happy about that! :D

I would agree that you should let the baby catch up in size..I was anxious about housing two together that were about 3-4 months apart in birth months... everything was find with them, but the older snake did harrass the little one for a few weeks.
