Babies hanging together?

[Zoe]

Do babies normally hang out together? Do they like each other's company? I was just wondering, because my two are always curled up together :]

All studies have shown that snake are not social animals, which I believe it is best to house animals separately except for breeding purposes. People often anthromorphize our animals to death... what we see as enjoying each others company and cuddling could be in fact security (not from another animal, but hiding within something else) or efforts to keep warm/cool. Snakes do not express themselves the same way we do, but we see them do something and interpret it the way we would in our day to day lives, not the snakes language.... just my 2cp....

Yes, I never thought they would enjoy to be together just for the sake of company. But they are in a huge tank with lots of hides and heat, and when one decides to move, the other follows. I just found it cute :]
