How many per cage

abcat1993 · 12-07-2006, 03:09 PM

What is the most amount of snakes you have in one cage?

PS: Controversial Topic (I think)

I have one tank with 8 snakes in, but they are all about 8inches each, and the tank is 4 foot by 18 inches, loads of climbing branches and loads of hidey holes, will split them as they get bigger, but loads of room for now...

I keep them all in separate cages....babies I will keep in groups, but will watch when feeding. All adults are in their own cage....unless it's breeding time!!!

I currently have 27 snakes and they are in 27 different enclosures, including the juviniles. Everthing seems much easier this way for me.

Woah, that's a lot of tanks. Do you all have specific snake rooms then?

I have a mother-in-law apartment on the back of my garage, has a decent sized living room, bathroom and kitchen (minus the stove, and the outlet for one....don't know what the prior owner's of the house were thinking when they built it....or a lot of other stuff) Work's great as my "Critter Room"

Sorry, but the maximum number of snakes per enclosure really depends on the size of the snakes and the size of the enclosure.

And more things than that sometimes, like what type of snake and how well you can monitor things going on in their cages. I just was wondering what people were doing.

Good poll abcat.....I was kind of curious myself what everyone else was doing. I'm going to be setting up a large setup and was contimplating whether to go with very large multi-snake setups or several smaller individual ones.

Only the tetrataenia's are with three specimens in one terrarium.
In all the other terrariums there are two snakes.
