Housing together

larean · 02-06-2008, 12:19 PM

Hi,

Some time ago, I was wondering whether one could house a Thamnophis together with another snake that had the same environmental needs and was roughly the same size. Since my lonely Parietalis lives in a 286 litre terrarium (if I converted it correctly, that's about 68 gallons), which is rather big for a 90 cm (36 inch) snake, I thought I might add another species or subspecies. Is this possible?

Thanks

P.S. I've got a vague recollection of asking this before, but this recollection is vague enough for me not to remember the answer anymore

Hi Christiaan, Yes, you can house two or more species/sub-species together safely. But, as you already stated, they need to be of similar size and have the same environmental requirements.

yes, as long as they are both male or female and about the same size...
