I wouldn't. I'd be concerned that snakes not of the same species would view each other as potential food.

Just wondering Nicole....why would you ask that?

Planning to purchase a house snake and put them in the same enclosure?

Mixing species generally isn't a good idea..

especially with these two. You asked this about corns too. Give it up. Garters with garters, corns with corns.

I personally house all my snakes seperatly but as long as there the same gender and both have good health I can't think of any reason you couldn't. House snakes stay small so if you have both males I think ull be fine. There a bit boring though

Okay, I gotta ask: What type of snake are we calling a "House Snake"?

That's a good question. I just assumed we were talking about the African colubrid.

Absolutely, positively, not. If you want a room mate for your garter, the only option is another garter of the same gender or species.
