    Re: Miss Marley

    You bring up a couple issues that get discussed often on the forum.

    Different species can be housed together as long as the same size, same sex rule is followed.
    With the exception being T.elegans.vagrans (Wandering Garter snake) They can be cannibalistic.

    I do a 90 day quarantine period.
    Here's a link to a thread discussing the quarantine issue.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    And at least T. scalaris and T. scaliger. Both of them have been found with other snakes in their stomachs, including a young Crotalus sp. in one case.


    edit:
    Reports of ophiophagy in T. scalaris:
