Can i put two coastal hatchlings out of the same hatch in the same enclosure ?
One has eaten 9 times and the other only 4 there is a noticeable difference in size mainly the girth.
Can there be any problems with doing this ?
Thanks Mick

As long as your snakes are near enough to a similar size it is very very unlikely you will have any dramas. I also house my two new Scrub Hatchies together as well and no problems there either. As NCHERPS mentioned though it is important to make sure that you do control there feeds and don't feed them together in the same enclosure as it can result in two snakes fighting over the same feed. |

I remember when i was doing work experience at the zoo i was feeding about 5 boa constrictor hatchlings that were is the same cage. I fed one and then another one went for a pinkie that was in another boas mouth. I had to get the guy to sparate them and he said that things could have got pretty nasty!

| | Suspended | Join Date: Mar-04 Location: sydney | | | | that usually ends up with one snake trying to swallow the other because neither will back down. has been fatal for both snakes. always feed separately. wonder how youd go with a two headed snake? probly have to tape ones mouth shut, be stressful. |

I also would make sure they were seperate at the time of feeding.
Thanks
