Also got a couple cute ones of Tempe with Brady. Enjoy. Tempe and Brady Bella climbing in the vines Archer Tempe checking things out A little change in the enclosure. Took out the vine on the floor so I can maintain a little easier. Tempe hanging from the rafters. Tempe and Archer taking it all in. I don't know how she managed to squeeze in there with Bella's big ol butt, but here's Tempe and Bella peeking out from a shared hide. Aren't they just adorable?

They'll move around their enclosure independantly, but when it comes to curling up for naps, they tend to gravitate to each other. The only time theres ever issues (and its rare) is during breeding seasons, sometimes males are known to be combatitive, which is more of a shoving war than anything else. (Combatitive behavior is very common in retic males) Awesome pictures, Kim!! So Bella and Tempe are getting along. Now poor Archer will be ganged up on.
	Hau, kola!

There have been cases of none cannablistic snakes including BPs eating other cage mates. Its one of those things aslong as you know risks and do your best to take steps to prevent any accidents then probably be fine but not worth the risk to me. I find it easier to house snakes seperate but thats me :). I know people that have had snakes housed together since babies for 20 years with no problems but then there are other cases that people were not so lucky.. So there are risks.

HerpinVert Expert Posts: 1,012 Group: Members Member #1,418 Joined: July 3, 2009	So far my guys are doing great together. Bella doesn't seem bothered at all by the new additions. As you can see, she's allowed Tempe to squeeze in the hide with her. LOL I keep a very close eye on these guys and keep them well fed, so I don't really anticipate any problems. As K said above, they move around the cage and explore independantly and there's plenty room for them to all 3 do so. I am prepared to seperate them should a problem arise, and I'll be moving Archer out as soon as he's a little bigger anyway. He'll need a bachelor pad before long.

Not saying there isn't incidences that the worst case scenario happens, but like you said, when precautions are taken and you don't invite a potential disaster, they can work together fine.

I'm glad you posted this comment. I've had the babies on a different feeding schedule then Bella until now. I never thought about wiping of the rat smell and making sure they feed on the same day. I'll be sure to work them into the same schedule and wipe them down before placing them back into the cage. Thanks!

HerpinVert God Posts: 2,665 Group: Members Member #484 Joined: October 28, 2007	No problem. My brother had a burm incident a few years ago that could have been deadly. He fed one, put him back, then fed her. When she was put back she had a couple of flecks of blood on her tail from the rat, the male took one sniff and latched on to her tail and started wrapping coils around her. Had he not been right there and caught it, she'd have been a goner.
