Re: The garter commune

The only snakes I keep together right now, are the vagrans twins and you definitely have to make sure they don't go after each other's food. I've broken them up twice after the smaller latched onto the bigger one by accident, both times during the first two months I had them. They haven't calmed down yet, but they've started to run away if the other snake approaches them while they're still swallowing their food. Of course I keep a close eye and I intervene the second I see the either of them show interest in the other one's food item.

Of course it's more time consuming if you have more than one group of snakes to feed, but I only have one set that needs to be monitored.
