Vanan, sounds like the stinkers are going to provide you with as much excitement as you need! Wow, I would have come unglued if I had seen that! Another reason to always keep vinegar within reach, I guess.

Hi folks,

i´m keeping my 1,1 spilotes together for about 1/2 year and no problems occured until today. I feed 5 mice each a week, and they go hunting again after 4 days. I kept them in a smaller enclosure when i got them fresh from import, for easier control and health check. After feeding they really often tried to get each other, so i had to watch for the following two hours. I even thougt about giving up on breeding spilotes, instead of building an expensive maxi-enclosure, but my fascination for these extraordinary snakes kept me moving. So i think they are cannibalistic, and there ist more danger in small enclosures and with poor feeding.

Happy herping,
Carsten
