I don't wish to open the whole intergrade argument agin but I strongly disagree with your opinion. Not to say that you are wrong as that is your opinion but to me and many others they can be awesome snakes.

Anyways, I have kept seperate species together as well as same species but as Parko has mentioned you will need to look at the difference in specific keeping requirements of each species. Make sureyou seperate them for feedings as well
