mixing garters
hi
whats everybodys thoughts of mixing species/subsp in the same viv, i had the idea of a large viv, with maybe a pair of melanistic eastern, a pair of chequereds (1 amel, 1 normal) and a pair of flames. any problems with the above idea. i should also point out that none of these animals will be bred, to thier respective partners or each other. rgds edward |

Re: mixing garters
I have a Parietalis male with a female Radix and they get along perfect. I will separate them though within a couple of months to avoid unwanted pregnancy....but to answer your question; Yes I find that if you have subspecies with the same kind of requirements they seem to get along just fine.

Re: mixing garters
re tank size, i was thinking a 4ft peninne, they wouldnt be exposed to a cool period of any sort (thier in the same room as my boids) would they still produce young with no cooling period?
but no snake eating traits in the sp/mut i mentioned? Rgds Edward |

Re: mixing garters
Right now I have my baby pugets with my baby red spots to give me more room on my rack for other stuff that's hatching/ coming in. I wouldnt really suggest it, unless it's temporary, and really I wouldnt do it with an established animal and an unestablished one, just my 2 cents

Re: mixing garters
My babies are sharing, too. I have 2 concinnus, 2 tetrataenia and one common. It works well for the moment but I will separate them come October/ November.

Re: mixing garters
Hi Edward. I think everyone else is right, if you keep adults of different species together they will most likely inter-breed. You're fine with babies though.
