theres mixed feelings on this subject hun,some people do and others say never.i personally wouldnt due to feeding,health,pooing,future breeding,possible aggression,identifying which one is ill,quarantining etc,is there any reason why you feel the need to put them together?

There goes that can of worms!

For the reasons outlined above, it isn't ideal. People will say that they've done it for x number of years without a problem, but I've heard of someone cohabiting for years and coming in to see one eating the other. So a negative result isn't necessarily conclusive.

If they are young then no.
There are 2 schools of thought - yes you can, and no you can't cohabit.

However, those of us who do cohabit all seem to have the same rules:

1. Never house hatchlings together, this is the time when they will see anything as food, including each other.
2. From 6 months old, only house a pair which are of the same sex,
3. Male/female paired only when they are mature and ready to breed.

i keep all my snakes together apart from the amazon tree boa's mainly because of feeding issues obviously you have to seperate for feeding and niether will feed in a RUB but all others yes are togher i just keep a very watchful eye on all of them, a very watchful eye and ive got a spare viv incase they need seperating for some reason.
