I agree that they should definitely be kept separate but to say they have diifferent needs in my opinion is wrong. They both need to be kept warm, fed and watered. They both come from the same continent therefore temp and humidity is likely to be similar. they would both eat similar food items. Therefore their needs are very similar.


Wow..I'm going to go stick my Hadogenes troglodytes with a Theraphosidae.. Laughing

maybe but you said you could house them together..
well you can't
they DO need different husbandry. The humidity a brazilian rainboa needs is likely to cause stress and could cause R.I or rotting of the belly scales for a bci if kept like that for long periods.

Whenever you mix species even if they are from round the same area, you are compramising on the husbandry needed for one species or the other..theres no way around it.

If these snakes all needed to just be kept warm, fed and given water we might aswell have only one worldwide species of snake Rolling Eyes Laughing

What a limited veiw on keeping snakes huh Wink
