Question enclosure & breeding Qs

Is it okay to keep a 15 inch baby and her 28 inch mother in a 2o gal tank??? even if the mother is wild caught? would it be okay to get an adult male to keep with them for possible breeding next year? would the male breed with both of them or just one?

You would need to keep a very close eye on them, particularly at feeding times. Personally I always try to keep only snakes of similar size (and same species) together.

No, they are prettier than 'average', Shanley. Love that pinky/orange colouration.
