    No, I wouldn't really recommend any combination of species.

    It's a novel idea... why not throw a pig in there too, and maybe one of the lower primates. Do you have access to geese?

    You are joking, right?

    Rodents get hungry when snakes are not. Rodents bite and eat snakes.
    Tarantulas can cause some major injuries on anything. NOT A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THIS MIX.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: Multi Animal Enclosure?

    okay, I really don't want to beat a dead horse, but I do feel the need to reiterate that this is absolutely, a terrible, horrible, awful idea. This puts all three animals in danger and they WILL attack each other. Rodents are omnivorous and will kill things and eat them given the chance. No matter how you put it, tarantuals are not docile, and do not have feelings and will have no problem sinking its fangs into your snake. Some are less inclined to bite you, but they are not docile friendly creatures, and neither are rodents or snakes. The only snakes you can really keep together are garters, and even then you want to keep only same species/subspecies together or if you want to mix subspecies, make sure they are all males or females. Other types of snakes should be houses separate from garters, and separate from each other because MOST snakes that are not garters, ribbons, dekay's or water snakes are totally solitary and need their own private space.

    I have a tarantula that is "docile". If i put my snake, one of my mice and my tarantula all together i can almost guarantee that I would be left with one fat spider.
