Keeping multiple snakes in the same enclosure is never an optimal approach, Curlyhead, unless you are actively breeding them. It raises disease risk (if one gets sick, they likely all will), creates recordkeeping complications (whose shed is that?), and makes feeding problematic (you have to separate them, which costs time). I would go for separate vivs, or use dividers (as a temporary measure only). |
