    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....

why can't hogs be kept together?

Hi,
I am new to the hobby and I have a 24" x24" x24". I am thinking about keeping a 2-3 female adults together in this tank. would that be a problem? they don't eat each other will they? I have never heard of hog eating another snake or cannabalize their own kind so i don't see why they can't be kept together.
 
Stress...Transmission of disease...If one regurges or has abnormal stool you can't identify which one...On and on...Their are plenty of good reasons why not to cohabitate, but not a single one for cohabitation that benefits the animal.

No matter what you do, you're going to need separate enclosures for each one for quarantine purposes.
 
Snakes are opportunistic feeders. Which means it's not all that unusual for them to feed on one another even though they may not be a typical "snake eater' such as a kingsnake or indigo. I had a western hog eat a corn snake that was temporarily housed together while I was cleaning cages many years ago.

From a husbandry perspective alone, I would keep them separate.
