Can anyone help at all. If you bought a captive bread snake and put it in the same enclosure with the same species and approx same size is this safe? Are there any implications? |

Make sure it is wormed etc. But after that it should be ok. Just be careful about feeding them (ie separate them during feeding).

And that's without getting into the whole topic of diseases, etc that the wild caught one might have...
Definitely safer to keep them separate tho!!! |
