Introducing bci to bci

[invertasnakes]

Hi all just been lucky enought to pick a girlfriend up for my male bci but was a bit unsure about how to introduce them to each other as the male has had his huge viv all to himself for nearly a year now. Is there any tips on how to do it or is it a case of just letting them get on with it and see how they do?? Any ideas or help would be great.

if you are housing them together make sure to seperate before feeding (a bit obvious but VERY important)

just shot them in and see what happens.....that's what I did and they are still fine and shagging away....that was over over 2 months ago.
Unless you want to set up a date with a candle lit dinner for them

surely he can get all the info he needs off the previous owner.....I did.
Would only worry about that if I was buying for a shop.

in all honesty u should keep any new snake to your collection seperate from the rest ie in another room for a month at least just to make sure everything is ok with your new girl.... health etc mate

some do some dont but is it really worth introducing any nasties to your collection??? i know mines worth to much to risk it
