This is the male at an outdoor photo shoot:
He has a bit of a temper!
And one of his ladies, in red phase.

What? You keep your Softes stuffedis plushie snakes in a container?! Mine are free range! They have way less stress when they can go wherever they want... well except too low to the ground, or the dogs will eat them, but other than that...
Maybe we can do a breeding loan, here's my male...

The red lady looks like a Brazilian Rainbow boa!

I only feed them two or three large rats once or twice a week. I like them to grow fast.

Joe, that blue bowl really makes his colors pop. I've heard some breeder of lowly cornsnakes on this site uses blue bowls too.
PM me about the breeding loan, or we can discuss it in Daytona.

I would be interested in setting up a breeding loan too...when my guy is old enough. Shouldn't be long, as he is on 2 rats twice a week and sometimes he gets 10 at a time as a treat. Don't worry; he's free range!

What is his growth rate like? Mine definitely shrinks when he gets wet and then dries.

Beware of breeding them too young - the female could get foam-bound.

You guys are so silly.
Anyway, I never recommended co-habbing, ever. Your snakes will live perfectly happy, healthy lives while being kept by themselves. That could change drastically if you co-hab them.
Best case sceneario- Snakes experience minimal stress and live their lives in moderate happiness.
Worst case scenario- One or more of your snakes gets ill and dies, or eat each other, or refuse food, ect.
Why anyone would take that risk is beyond me.

I do not co-hab. But I do wonder why different species can be found under the same piece of plywood - including Kings and other snakes which would otherwise be their prey.
True, if one of the snakes get on everyone's nerves, they have the freedom to leave the space.
But still - it makes you think...
