Also, I've talked to many people before deciding on cohabing. they all said theyll be fine since theyre the same size, and as long as you seperate when feeding.

It's only dangerous if your an idiot.

not true. it IS dangerous, period. The snake can't tell you when one is being bullied out of hides or temperature gradients, or if they are starting to get hungry and the other is looking like a nice snack.

I'd disagree. You don't need to be an idiot.

Go out to work, school or anything for several hours and anything can happen when snakes are left unsupervised. There are many cases of snakes that are not thought be ophiophagus that still eat each other. It's not just a worry of cannibalism. Cohabbing can result in competition, fighting and stress.

And as the others have mentioned, a thermostat is an absolute must.
