i hsve a male and a female i wanted to know at what age can they live together. iv kept them before but they were adults and lived fine together apart from at feeding time!! The ones i have now are only approx 1 month old, the guy i bought them off said not to keep them together until they are older but i think they will be fine. anyones advise on this would be appreciated.

thanks

They should not be kept together unless they are mature enough to breed and you are intending to breed them.

Snakes are solitary creatures in the wild until it's time to breed, so it can be stressful for them to be kept together. Some people do it, but most wouldn't recommend it. There's also a potential issue with cannibalism if there's a size difference between them!
