Difficult one this, and sure to generate lots of opinion.
Have you read the 'sharing a viv' sticky??
Are they definately both male?
How old are they?
How long are they?
How did one manage to get into the other side?

| get separate vivs, they're not cuddling, they are competing for the best spot in the viv, which is sure to cause stress. |

| My 2 did that when i had them in together, i took advise from here and put them in seperate vivs. As Sexybear said they are not cuddling just competing for the optimum spot |

Agreed! at that size/age the list of risks is endless!! i cohabit my corns but definitely wouldn't at that size/age

Co-habiting isnt an easy decision. You need to make sure you are well prepared and very organised. |

You may not have seen any problems but you must have realised from reading other topics that there are problems. Just cos you havent seen them doesnt mean that problems dont happen, so therefore its not worth the risk. |

Keep an eye on them and try to see where they are getting through. There may be a small gap that you haven't noticed, if you can't secure I would definately get another viv.
Are both ends exactly the same, just wondering why one feels other side is better? |

| I juts wouldn't even take the chance, they are too small and too young... I dont care how many people cohabit their snakes, if you arent experienced bad things still happen. |

Its a very highly debated subject, there are absolutely no positives to housing them toghether other than saving space and money.
I think most people on here will tell you it is not worth the risk and I agree. |

| I am a big fan of co-habiting but don't really think that this is a suitable situation, Best advice i can give is wait till they are at least 2ft+ and you have had them probed by 2 differant people to ensure that they are both males. At the end of the day it's your decition to make, Your the one that wil have to live with it if something bad happens. |
