Multiple species in one enclosure

[Zdravko092368]

T.s. sirtalis are less defensive and skittish than Infernalis in my experience, eastern are about the same as Radix for temperament and feed response, both are really awesome snakes. I like infernalis a lot too, both of mine are a bit defensive though.

Well you guys were right that really bit me in my ***. I will elaborate more when this is all resolved. For now I am looking at a T. s. sirtalis and wondering how they are as pets? How are they compared to T. s. infernalis and T. radix? Any information is useful.

Oh no, I hope nothing bad happened to the snake!

T. s. sirtalis are my absolute favorite. They have the most available morphs of any of the species, but I really like their personalities. Very friendly and pretty calm, though the males can be a bit jumpy (which is the case with any of the species really). I haven't looked through all the ads, but Jeff just put up a lot of snakes for sale in the For Sale section here. He's a pretty safe bet if you're looking for a nice looking, healthy snake

You are right Jeff is a true professional, I got my infernalis from him and would not have second thoughts about buying from him again. Awesome thanks for the low down.

Yeah, Tommy beat me to it! Haha. I was trying to figure out where to squeeze her in. Oh well, nice pick up T.

BTW you still haven't elaborated for us like you said you were. At least let us know if the Radix is okay or not.

The radix is alive and on his way back to Florida herps. It turned out that they sent me the wrong snake and admitted to making a mistake. Unfortunately the radix was wild collected and came with mites. I noticed the problem before it spread to my other snakes so it turned out the best it could. They offered to send me the correct snake free of charge, but at this point I had had enough and just told them to refund my money.

MITES, toxic little creatures that can sweep though a collection like a plague. Be very aggressive in treatment. Best of luck.

Send you the wrong snake, AND with mites? Gah! Shame on them.
