I've been thinking about whether or not my plans to house Houdini and Harley together eventually are going to work out, and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions.

I don't mind baby snakes, but is there any risk (other than getting a litter of jellybeans) associated with having an older male mate?

Also, with Houdini being completely blind, is housing him with another snake especially after him being by himself all his life, just asking for trouble? I just worry that if Harley had even a slight smell of food on her he might mistake her for a treat. I know a couple other people on here have experience with visually-impaired snakes, so what would you suggest?

If it seems like a bad idea, I'll just continue to make sure he gets plenty of handling and chaparoned visits with Harley, but it'd be nice to let them live together
