Would the size difference be a problem if I put them together? The male is old enough but he just never grew big. I would hate to have the female eat him because I could not replace him. I know they love eating other snakes but will they eat their own kind as easily too?
Just a comment. I know these snakes are way too intelligent to just bite but I see he has wrapped his tail around your wrist. That scares me because when I want to put it down quickly it can still hang on.
i only keep them, for 8 months every year as breeding group 1,3 together and i dont find so far any aggressions. but the snakes are about the same size. anyway, peter is right, i wouldn't be worried so much. how old is the mail, if i might ask?
for the handling, like i was saying before, everyone has his own technics to work with animals. if you watch the picture closely , you will see the tail is not complete wrapped around my wrist.
