    Housing snakes together?

    Does anyone think that there would be any problems with housing a radix and a similis with a concinnus?

    No problem at all.

    Our litters are housed together, as are many.

    With this many babies, we would need a hundred tanks to keep them all separate.

    Yeah! Just be careful at feeding time and when they become breeding age, seperate opposite sex. We don't want any hybrids.

    I keep butler's, easterns, red-sideds, wanderings, checkereds, and plain's in the same pen/tank and I've had no problems. Just make sure you tend to everyone's dietary preferences.

    OK, so what if the new snake is only 3-4 weeks old and the others are 3-4 months? I'm guessing there will be a fairly significant size difference? Would it be better to house them seperately for a while or is it still ok to put them together?

    As long as you monitor them closely at feeding time I see no other reason to separate other than quarantine.

    Re: Housing snakes together?

    I have 2 baby Garters that i am raising right now, and they are fine together, they love each other a lot. sometimes fight over food but other then that they are very happy with one another. Plus i read it is better to house more than 1 snake together. Because it makes them feel a bit safer and they have someone to keep them company. at most I'd say a max of 5 snakes together is fine, if babies than maybe 5-10. lol

    Yeah, I have a radix and a similis together and they do seem to like being near each other. It is really just the size difference that makes me feel cautious about adding the new baby.
