I have 2 beautiful adolescent woma pythons (17 months) that have always been well mannered, but the female just attacked the male completely randomly and i had to pull them apart, he is ok but i have separated them. I keep them in the same tank. The female can be snappy around feeding as most womas can be but is otherwise very tame and the male is always calm and sweet.
The enclosure is 1.2mx0.6mx0.8m and cleaned weekly
So far they have coexisted very happily and often sleep in the same hidey hole even though i provided 2 large ones.
I feed them weekly with a fuzzy rat and i think iv taken good care of them. I follow the advice i researched before getting them so why would she attack? is it an isolated incident or have i made a mistake with feeding or keeping? I am new at keeping snakes and these are my first, I was hoping somebody with more experience could shed light on it as i love my snakes and want to do the right thing by them, even if it means separating and a new tank, though i would prefer not to.
Thanks
