I always recommend that people have enclosures set up prior to purchasing a new snake. If you don't have the money to set up a new enclosure, than I would suggest reconsidering the purchase, as you may not be able to afford veterinary assistance if one of them gets sick. I always recommend people keep a few dollars to the side when purchasing a new snake to deal with emergencies.
Cheers
Jonno

I also agree with Jonno 100% - if you don't have the cash for the setup then wait til you do - in saying that though - a $20 heat cord and a $5 click-clack would be a fine setup...

A few keepers on this site have posted threads about the horror of having one of their snakes being eaten by another sharing the same enclosure.
Some snakes go off their food if another snake is in their enclosure. They are solitary animals.
Best not to do it so there is no risk.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-08 Location: sydney Gender: | | | | well i read that yes 100% thay can eat eachother so if u are doing that watch them when you feed them because what heppends is 1 might b faster at eating and then might go looking for some more food and see the other snake with half of the mouse out of its mouth and they will try eat it in doing so it ends um with the snakes head in its mouth if this does heppen do not try force them apart rince them in warm water and it will stop and thay will separte and u wont lose a snake | |
