5 gal. tank?

[RedSidedSPR]

I would recommend you wait until the babie is close to the same size because the bigger snake could hurt the smaller one. What i mean is don't put a 9" snake in the same cage as a 22" snake. When he gets about 16 or 18" he should be ok.

That's what I thought.

oh...ok well tantillas in general dont get big so wont that species fit in the 5 gal?

I think it would, but like he said I never see those. Ringnecks, worm snakes, earth snakes, and brown snakes are the smallest snakes I find. Occasionally a pine woods snake (very, very awesome, but very, very rare). That would be my choice but I've only found one. They aren't really in my area. I was pretty lucky when I found the one I found.
Remember, you live in Texas, I live in NC. Big difference.
