Hiya,
Hi Shaunrp,

I'm not a very experienced owner, but hopefully my response will keep your thread high up

From what I've gathered from reading posts on the forum, shared accomodation is quite a contentious issue! My concern would be if they are opposite genders they may well try to breed before the females ready and also before you want babies, if you want any at all!

As for viv size, I was told to move my 9-week old up into a 3 foot viv at around 14 months old, but no idea how accurate this is! Also I imagine lengths at each age will vary from snake to snake.

Someone more helpful will no doubt be along shortly! xx
