I was speaking with a decent sized breeder and a few other hobbyists of our genre and we got on the topic of housing our animals and that evolved in how we keep pairs of the same species. I have always kept my snakes seperated till it was breeding time. I have done this because generally the species i keep are solitary animals only coming together to breed and so i always can monitor the snakes food intake, i have several snakes that will just not eat in the presense of a human.Now a good deal of the people i was speaking with they said they for the most part would keep pairs together and trios etc as long as they said the enclosure (what ever that maybe) was large enough and had multiple hides and what not to get away. I decided that i would love to hear what alot of the members here do, there reasoning and there success rate and sizes of enclosures and husbandry changes if they do keep pairs together and by husbandry im not talking about the change of the humidity,temp but more like the "layout" of the tank i.e. more hides, branches,logs,rocks,water dishes etc. Thanks and i look forward to the discussion

The only hots I keep are Georgia natives and I have and do keep all of those species with 1 exception housed in pairs or trios quite often. I've never had a problem with it, however I do separate them to feed. The only species I won't house together are Micrurus fulvius. Take care, Marty
