They are capable of living together, but as the above poster has said there are people with VERY strong opinions on the matter, and some are more forceful than others.

I'll give it 10 post max before someone posts a picture of a some type of snake eating another saying "I told you so"

Its unlikely, but certainly not impossible they may fight, but that goes for just about any animal you keep, not just snakes.

I'd be more concerned with stuff like mites, and squabbling over food than them killing and or eating each other.

I have to say although i keep reps together i ALWAYS feed seperatly in tubs.
This is very very important. never ever feed together.

Thanks for your help so far. Dno what im gna do if i have to keep these apart, wait for payday i guess

I've kept 2 unrelated royals together for about 12 months now, in fairness thats more down to space issues than long term care plans, but they are perfectly fine and to my knowledge never fought or tried to eat each other. They are even well mannered at feeding time and CAN be fed in the viv at the same time, I have a video on here some where as proof.

The only real issue is as soon as one got mites, so did the other. So getting rid of them is twice as much work.

Are they two off the same sex??? If so you could keep them together...just seperate for feeding!

If however they are a related pair, and they breed, this can lead to all sorts of genetic implications...better to breed of unrelated.

So kinda depends if they same sex pets, or breeders???
