I know of a person who's children's python ate the other. Best keep them separate.

Well , about six months ago I bought a male Childreni from kath&stu who post on here ------
The reason for them selling him was because although he'd lived happily with another male for over a year , one fine day they woke up to find him with the other snakes head in his mouth.
luckily both were fine & they got there in time . It could be fine , but it is a risk .

[mungus]

To be safe, keep them seperated.
I only put my snakes together when its time to breed.

Re my previous post.........
You can read the kathandstu post about it called------ 'when childreni attack..each other' .

The attacker is actually the cute little guy in my avatar

I have been to a blokes house and he had about 5 diamonds of varying sex all living in a massive outdoor aviary?And another person I know keeps a male and female Bredli together all the time in the same enclosure.But I think it is smart to let them have there own space and just put them together to breed

An aviary offers alot more room for the snakes to get away from each other and because it's outdoors there is no competing for the heat light etc etc.

Also (from what I've read) diamond males don't wrestle during mating? Apparently they are more into the group thing

[wizz]

yes diamond love the group thing........ males do not have combat......it triens them on lol....2 males 1 female is the go....... it has worked for me for 5 years.

i have had no problems at all with any of my pairs all are housed together all the time? only 2 are the womas and blackheads that i will only put together at breeding time.
