putting them together

Awww, so sweet!!!!

Have to share, though. Today, while feeding some cohabbing babies, the smaller one was in the dish, the larger of the two was looking for food. I guess the smaller one's tail was closest in a dish full of worm and pinky parts. The big girl grabbed it, and started swallowing. She was past the cloaca by a good measure by the time I got to them. I was able to extricate them, but poor Little Girl has some good teeth marks on her lower parts and tail.

My advice and preference, if time allows, cohab from now until doomsday, but tub feed unless it's prohibitive to do so!

most of my snakes get tweezer fed (12" or 15" tweezers) in their enclosure
if there is a skittish snake who will upset everyone and make them drop their food, I take out one or two snakes to feed in another enclosure. Depending on the specifics, that can be either the skittish snake or one that'll eat under any circumstances and won't regurgitate if handled after eating
I never ever walk away when feeding more than one snake in their enclosure, not unless they all are working on something that's going to take them long enough to swallow that I can go get something in the other room, or pop a rodent into an SRO enclosure
even at that I don't think I can do more than three in an enclosure without feeling stressed
the kind of stuff Steve does - just sticking a plate of food in an enclosure with so many snakes I can't count them - would stress the heck out of me
there's this physical symptom I get only when I'm stressed around snake feeding. It's a kind of popping in the ears - very weird, a little painful, quite unpleasant - and I've never gotten in in any other situation
