Caging discussion

[Nektu]

It was some what brought up in another thread about why you shouldn't keep the same kind of snakes of the same sex in the same enclosure. But why not? Discuss here what your thoughts about this are.

I keep my ball python males together. I seperate them to feed. It was brought up that they wouldn't do this in the wild. That may be true, but this isn't the wild and they weren't brought out of the wild they were captive bred. I know the dangers of keeping them together. If one gets sick the other may too. But as a keeper, isn't it my choice, and yours too, to keep them together if the enclosure is the right size?

I keep an herbavor with a carnivore, lizards, and they cohabitate well. But I also know that there are some lizards you can not do this with. I can not put a geko with anything. So, what is the big deal?
