Can an eastern garter live with a Red Sided garter?

...have a wandering I'm also nervous about putting with other garters, but would be nice to..

[RedSidedSPR]

Dont put another snake with a wandering! They are cannabilistic!

It could mean death to both snakes. It's not worth the risk.

He should be fine with other wanderings around his size

That's what I used to think.

I don't think the size matters. They can still swallow one another, or even a slightly larger snake, believe it or not.

have you had some issues with them? I have been keeping groups of adults together all this summer....

Twice. Was keeping two vagrans and a tetrataenia in the same enclosure a couple of years ago. Everything had gone well for almost a year and then suddenly the smallest vagrans tried to kill the tetra, which was noticably bigger. No food involved. Wrote it off as the snake being pregnant and just extra hungry and the vagrans ID:ing the tetra as a "legitimate target" because it was a different (read: prey) species.

4 months later one baby vagrans tried to kill its cagemate. No food involved.

I know at least one other European member, who's lost vagrans to vagrans without warning and after long-term cohabitation.
