    Re: Vagrans Babies!!!

    Would they be so Cannibalistic if always fed lots n no shortage of food? Just separate them for feeding?
    I would think they'd rather have a nice thawed mouse n worms rather than their roommate....

    But I've never kept a wandering so ... what do I know eh?

    The two times I had attempts here, there had been no shortage of food.

    I was at Reptile Gardens while visiting South Dakota. Found it interesting that they housed vagrans and radix together. Both snakes were the same size and I was told that they never caused a problem.

    I think that the entire Elegans group may have a tendency towards cannibalism. Several years ago, I had a coast garter that attempted to eat one of my bluestripe garters. Luckily, I noticed the commotion in the terrarium, and was able to intervene. He already had the other snake's head down his throat.

    The parents of my oldest male were kept together for a long time, without a problem. Some time after giving birth, the mother ate the father.

    I kept two vagrans together with a tetrataenia without problems for a year. Then, one day, the smaller of the vagrans tried to kill the 5-10 cm longer tetrataenia.
