Can I enquire as to why you'd be putting two different sub-species in together?

Wondering when the question would be asked...
Expert hey?.... Dam I must be doing everything wrong thenMy reptile expert, a guy who's one of the largest reptile breeders in Australia, gave me Bellamy the coastal as a companion to her.
Not going to start the whole sub species argument, but they look good together.

you think a breeder (expert) has put u down the right track?...u using glass enclosure?.....that u can't keep ya snakes in.....post a thread about how good they r together (but u had already lost them)....and rule 1 in snakes is keep them on there own for there own HEALTH and SAFETY......but u try to tell me that u think u r correct?..........this forum is for learning and ive done it tough the same as others...and learnt heaps in the process ....so im a little concerned for your "SNAKES" but really think u need to research and not listen to your TOP back street wonderful fantastic breeder....... no more comments on this thread from me...

Not to start an argument, or put anyone's credentials into disrepute, but he is known quite well across Australia, especially as a breeder.
He didn't suggest to keep the snakes together, and doesn't himself unless for breeding, but when I enquired he said Bellamy would be a good choice.
At six months they are a little young to breed if that is what you are worried about. I personally wouldn't keep any snakes together even if they were both the same subspecies except for breeding purposes.
At six months you could keep them in 30L tubs with heat cord underneath to heat both. Pretty cheap option which offers a lot of piece of mind. You can get some really good tubs which are virtually escape proof.
I hope you find her. I would be suprised if she went to far.

Ozimid take a breath and read what was actually written.
I have very happy you found both your snakes. I think something that needs to be taken into account is that you said earlier you wanted your snake to have a companion. Snake do not get lonely or crave companionship. The fact that the breeder does not keep multiple animals together is interesting. I would suggest you separate them before they get to breeding age unless you have the intention to breed them.
Do you have any idea how they managed to escape? If you have sliding glass doors, there are plenty of pics floating around of snakes escaping through the gap in between them. If so my suggestion for housing underneath may be useful.
I would've left the glass door slightly open, and they got out. But I'm sure no one else has ever made that mistake.
Check before u comment thanksYou could bend some nails and lodge them in the tracks to stop the sliding doors from opening. That's what I do.
Similar to securing click clack lids with rubberbands. Learnt that one the hard way. Same as you. Found her though.
ozimid - I'm not having a go at you mate (Before I ended up with two Coastals in the one enclosure I would of been as out spoken as you about it.)... The story goes like this.
Mine have lived fine together for years.
It's very similar to how they were kept by the previous owner. Going on 2 months now with not many issues.
Only the one time when I forgot to seperate tham at the first feed with me, that was fun.
Had not handled them since bringing them home then had to grab both of them and pull them apart before any real damage was done.
It can be done. I just don't think that jumping down Djbowker's throat really helps anything. We all make mistakes.
