    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I know most recommend not housing a breeding pair together, and only introducing them during mating season. What do you guys do, personally? Also, have any of you had success with a pair that is always together?
 
Separate. Unless you can build a very large enclosure where they don't have constant close contact outside of breeding season I see no reason to keep them together. I always worry more with arboreal species like GTPs and ETBs since they're more sensitive than, say, carpets and ATBs.

Maintaining proper heat and humidity in a larger enclosure can be more of a pain, more work, and again, the whole sensitive species thing... but if you're willing to stay on top of it then go for it.

By the way, I grew up in East Windsor :D nice to see other New England herpers, wish I had known you when I lived back home!
 
Just as a general rule, I always have separate caging for ALL my reptiles. Wether they are snakes or lizards. The only time I have 2 animals in 1 cage is for breeding. Snakes by nature are solitary animals. Usually when you house 2 together even for breeding it seems to stress out certain animals.
