I really think so. But it isn't sad....snakes don't do sad, or happy. They do correct conditions/incorrect conditions.

Re: Multi-species housing...

Sigh. Well, thanks, James, for taking all my sweet little snuggly snake thoughts and dashing them on the rocks.

Can I at least pretend they are cuddling and love each other???

Heh, who knows. We could all be wrong. >>
Perhaps they're really exchanging chemical signals on where the most food is, or maybe they're "snuggling" to raise their body temps. Who knows.

Maybe it's an antipredator strategy, or maybe it's just that they have the same needs.

Maybe when no one's looking, they do a complex dance, like honey bees. Or maybe, when we've all gone to bed, they actually talk to each other!

"Hey, Slither, what did you think of those pinkies he gave us tonight?"

"A bit tough, I thought, Slim. I reckon he thawed them too fast. Anyway, give us a cuddle".

I might try that, Todd, instead of my usual Australian Shiraz! Good call!

Re: Multi-species housing...

Don't you dab cologne behind your ears though? Where would you put it on a snake?
