Thanks for the responses!

+ No, I haven't tried cutting yet ... but as you both seem to suggest up to 3 months is OK, then I'll leave it for now. I checked my dates and I was correct - Flame (the small one ... a lovely red colour) ate at the end of Feb and Frosty (the big one ... white, as if you couldn't guess!) at the end of Jan. If in another couple of weeks they both still haven't eaten then I'll try this.

+ Both ARE very active ... and do spend quite a bit of time crawling around.

+ Sorry - I didn't explain myself properly. The big viv for Frosty does have a heat mat at one end ... and we put a smaller plastic viv inside the big viv for Flame to live in (just really to keep the 2 snakes apart - Frosty is much bigger than Flame and if Flame IS a girl, we don't want any babies just yet!!!). Anyway, Flame's small viv is placed half on and half off the heat mat, so she/he/it/? has a range of temperatures available. We had this arrangement for all of Dec/Jan and had no problems during this time.

Many thanks again!
