Had to empty out both my middle tubs to work on the back-walls and remove the separator, since my quarantine tub is occupied by a sick rescue i was one spot short. So to not further delay my construction, Renji and Rukia have become housemates.. However to prevent Rukia from eating Renji, which i consider a realistic possibility... I solved it a different way! Not that fascinating, just felt like sharing. Both of them ate immediately after moving them like this, so it works! (temperatures are great too) I put Rukia in the plastic tub because she eats anything she find in her tub, but Renji actually has to be offered food. So this way i can toss her food in, and then offer Renji his :D the other way around would be better looking at their size, but this is easier for feeding and it is just temporary after all. (Hopefully not more than 2 / 3 weeks)


First i tried Rukia's baby tub, but she has surely grown out of that!! She is now nearly twice the weight of Renji who is 4 years older.

I kept two juvenile kingsnakes (canibslistic) like this in tubs inside a 10 gallon for a while cause I didn't have anyway else to do it. It actually works really well.

You're right, i'm glad it works though i really did not feel like buying another spare terrarium/thermostat etc.:)

Yea, thats a smart thing to do. Boa's can also be cannibalistic, but usually leave each other alone. However, Rukia (T+ Albino female) is overly aggressive to anything that moves. The male is only aggressive when confronted but will definitely strike back, did not feel like taking any risks. :)
