    Housing together

    Hi,

    Some time ago, I was wondering whether one could house a Thamnophis together with another snake that had the same environmental needs and was roughly the same size. Since my lonely Parietalis lives in a 286 litre terrarium (if I converted it correctly, that's about 68 gallons), which is rather big for a 90 cm (36 inch) snake, I thought I might add another species or subspecies. Is this possible?

    Thanks

    P.S. I've got a vague recollection of asking this before, but this recollection is vague enough for me not to remember the answer anymore

    Hi Christiaan, Yes, you can house two or more species/sub-species together safely. But, as you already stated, they need to be of similar size and have the same environmental requirements.
