My co habitation was for no otehr reason than the snakes sought each other out whenever possible (which was how it appeared and since there is no proclaimed "snake whisperer here Ill never be able to PROVE it"). When I was holding one and my son the other they would buth try to get to the other and not stop. Hold them together and they "APPEARED" content (as seen in the picture for my avatar)
2 vivs sitting right beside each other and one would be constantly in the cool end and the other in the warm end sitting right next to each other.
It had NOTHING to do (as some here seem to assume) with saving some money or space. I have the exact same setup for BOTH only smaller vivs than I have now for then together. I am a furm believer and practicer of your responsibility as a pet owner to provide the best possible care for your pet. Its not a hobby its a responsibility.
That being said my girls will continue together until they show me they want otherwise.
*** By the way I have NEVER mentioned this point that went along way to my decision on cohabitating them. (I initially did NOT want to as that meant that I had to spend a couple of hundred dollars extra to get a NEW and LARGER and IMPROVED VIV)
*** My Anery was not eating. Thats the reason. Sounds strange but after we got her she would not eat. She was not a hatchling but a holdover or one that did not sell from the past breeding season. We left her alone for a week, sisnt handle, didnt feed etc. All the directions direct from kathys care pages. she still would not eat. I tried braining, slicing, chicken broth, pinkies, fuzzies. large, small waiting a 4 days between attempts and she was not interrested. 3 weeks past and we were heading out for vacation for a week and were moving them to another room. I placed them in the same viv for the day as I was cleaning the other and did not have time to finish it. Well long story a bit shorter and they had to remain all the next day until later in the evening as I had an emergency and we were leaving at 0400 next morning. The heating pad died as I was putting the 2nd viv back together and had no choice at that time. I fed our Amel and tried again (after about 30 hours of the cohabitation) and the anery ate. Have had no trouble with her eating since and we decided to let them stay together.
take it for what its worth. The Acception rather than the rule.
I appreciate and respect the opinions and siggestions of all the "experts here"
