How much

larean · 04-02-2008, 12:45 PM

OK, so I've got the 286 litre terrarium, and there are 2 more parietalises on their way. These are stil young, so the female will have to wait a little more

I now spotted another ad with a 2 year old male (the female might not have to wait a little more

! And, as if that wasn't enough, a beautiful young Natrix Maura. I have got anough terrariums to keep them all separate (got to do that anyway, quarantaine etc.), but is 286 litres (130-40-55 cms) enough to keep them in together? It would be a very nice sight

.

I've been assured that you can keep Natrix Maura with thamnophises, provided they're about the same size.

For some parietalis this terrarium is big enough.
Combining them with maura is a tricky question..
My opinion: when alle the snakes are healthy and of about the same size and the terrarium is big enough... no real problem.
Some people will disagree on combining different genera.

I was wondering about the Maura as well...
Are there any Maura keepers on the forum?
