I kept my Darwins together without a problem. I keep my water pythons together and haven't had a problem there either. Certainly it's best to separate at feeding and that's probably the greatest pain about keeping them together. They are no different to keep than virtually any other carpet - bar your diamond pythons.

I guess the main thing is give them plenty of hides, although most of the time mine will all bunk in under the one pot anyway

it's the first carpets i have kept. so all the info helps. at what age can you keep them together or does it not matter?

hmmm... well, the first thread i ever posted was about keeping two carpets together (male and female) - and mine are the most placid - calm and sweet things ever - never even attempted a strike at me.

however, i was almost shot for even suggesting that snakes could be kept together. i was told i'd end up with one fat snake.

so... my advice - based on the abuse i was given... is don't keep them together unless you're breeding - or you're a bit of a hardcore adrenaline junkie - who doesn't mind having a small heart-attack everytime you can only see one..

have a bit of a search on the two snakes one enclosure debate... interesting stuff really.
