Ok that is exactly what I was wondering. Thanks for the info.

Considering a marcianus foryour next one then? I've never kept them, but they seem to be pretty chill.

Yeah initially I was trying to find an anerytheristic T. radix but can not seem to locate any and the checkered garters seem to be readily available. I do not have any green in my collection currently and I really like the lines under their eyes. From what I read they are extremely docile and my little infernalis could use some good influence.

Just be careful with infernalis during feeding, they can be VERY aggressive feeders.

This.

I separate the ones housed together for feeding and give them a little time to calm back down before putting them back together.

[AntTheDestroyer]

I will definitely be separating during feeding, but thanks for the warning.

So thinking this through another question has arisen. I know that the new addition needs a quarantine period of at least a month, but how long do you suggest? After he has served his time, how do you recommend I introduce to the two roomies? Just throw them in together and let them sort it out or is there another method some have used?

I do 90 days for all. Longer if any problems arise.

[d_virginiana]

90 days for me too.

Whenever I introduce new ones, I start by letting them meet each other while I supervise, and then leave them together for longer periods until they're finally just living together. I'm probably a little over-cautious on that though. And if they're similarly sized there's less reason for caution than if you were dealing with one snake that's twice the size of the other or something.
