These came to live with us last night. Very sweet and gentle pair of snakes.

These two have been together for months. When I took the female, named Brownie off of my wife's shoulders the male, Beau was looking for her intently. He didn't settle down until I brought Brownie over and they touched noses.

Very cool! Are they a breeding pair?

bcr226 · 03-01-13, 08:24 AM

Yeah, once they both reach maturity.

Sent you a FB friends request. Saw your also into firearms, so you have the same interests and I do.

Both look really nice mate.

Beautiful pair. They seem attached to each other already

I think it's really cool to see a bond like that.

A pair of Bp's that I have always find each other and cuddle when I let them out to roam. They always know where to find each other and stick together for the duration that they are out. It's pretty cool to see

I think I got it. Shoot me a message there just to make sure! And thanks for the add.

These two snakes are incredible. I know one is a hypo pastel (the smaller and younger male) and the other is a hypo. They've lived together in the same enclosure for about 6 months and have really bonded strongly. They are friendly and love to be held and to be around people in general. Forget the leaving them alone in the enclosure for a week. They wanted company today.

I'm in the process of building them a large vivarium that will be 8 feet long, 3 feet deep and 4 feet high. I'll post pics as that goes along. We're putting the king snake vivarium on the back burner a bit to get this one done quickly.

Thanks everyone!

Nice! Can't wait to see the pics.

Very nice looking Boas!

Just a word of caution. Be very careful cohabiting them. I personally cohab and it works fine for me. Just be careful when you feed and watch when you reintroduce them as they smell like the rat they are hugging. Any other questions just ask me or terranaut as I think we are the only two that admit to cohabiting snakes.

Thanks Korbin, yeah, we've got that covered. They've been co habitating for a long time. I'm not too concerned but I do keep an eye on them.

I use to have a pair of garters that had a bond like that.
