You have no clue at all. You are not only anthropomorphizing
right left and center but you are also arrogant on top of it. You are making yourself look worse and worse.

Snakes of the same species, or different species should NOT be housed together!

1. Disease is not only passed, but impossible to tell who gave who what and who has what.
2. Snakes are solitary. Not herd animals. Um duh?
3. You loving them has nothing to do with it. You are choosing to FORCE them to live in a way that is NOT natural. now you explain ot ME why thats o.k.....because you love them? LOL. them living together since birth means diddly. Anyone who knows reptiles realizes attachments between snakes are NOT possible. Period.
4. To provide enough hides if a person was going to house together, you need a huge cage. Each snake should have the choice to be alone at any temp in the gradient at any time. Your pictures and description obviously show you are not providing this.
5. Other people have said in this thread that you are possibly breeding together two different snakes and that of course is always a good idea isn't it? lol
6. What if one regurges/......who is it? Yeah, you wouldn't know.
7. My fav reason, which I'd like you to address specifically....give me ONE reason that is beneficial to the snakes to house together. Just one, and it must be benefical to the SNAKES. Not your feelings, not your idea on whats right, but the snakes. Go ahead.

You people need to grow up..is this not a discussion about boas?or am i just in some drawn out sitcom!!look it what ever you people think about me!so what...!it really meens nothing to me.i didnt come here to argue about my animals,uh,yea..my animals..not yours!!what ever way i chose for them to live.is my business.it seems to be working out great for them,so hey,,who am i to say that i am doing the wrong thing or not?if they are happy & healthy..then great.that is all that matters to me.

[marisa]

"what ever way i chose for them to live.is my business"

Wow! That statement sure is a sign of a good keeper! LOL. Are you kidding me? I guess I feel like having a aquatic dog. Its my dog so whatever I choose is o.k. for her. As long as she is living, it must be right!

Off to fit her with a scuba suit...

P.S. This is not personal against you dude. I could care less how you live. Its about your animals. You coudl better their lives by removing them to their own enclosures, THAT is what matters. THAT is what we care about.

[diablos]

by the way,im not being arrogant at all!i just know from experience, that not everything you read in a book is the whole truth or you find on the internet.

[diablos]

that is not what i meen..i meen they are my animals.they have lived like Together for years.!!!!and seem to be doing great.thats all..

[diablos]

Trust me..my animals are and could not be in more better health!!!!!!have you people not read a word of what i wrote?they get vet checked monthly!!!!!!

[diablos]

I am tired of this..time to move on..thanks for the argument..people!!!!great place to discuss boas!!!to bad we didnt get a chance too since every one seems to wanna bash me!!!about my boas liveing arangments!!!

[Dark_Angel_25]

1 1/2 years is hardly 'years' and they are stressed... you may not notice it yet, but you will.. and your hogg who is 1 1/2 years old, IMO should not even have been bred! do you feed them together too?

[diablos]

Uh,,She is 5 years of age..not 1 1/2 the boys are.4 1/2!and as far as my vet can tell there is no stress going on..!

[diablos]

of course not..they have there oun feeding tanks..!

[Dark_Angel_25]

well you said they were living together since they were babies... how can that be if they have been living together for 1 1/2 years like you said, if they are older than that??
