Hi Guys,
Finally decided it's time for my baby girl to get some man love, so I'm going hunting for the lucky chap tomorrow. Now, do I put them both in the same viv |

Have been reading about on issue of putting two royals in one viv. Its all contradictory.
General practice seems to be not the best idea to have more than one on a viv. And where male and female where involved the big concern was the risk of a premature pregnancy, before the female was really mature enough to breed.
The other issue that would have been raised was that one snake would always dominate the other which would not leave the best living environment for said snake.
But again there also seem to be many people who have had two royals living together and had no problems.
Not much help am afraid but just wanted to pass on some thoughts.
In the end it was not recommended to me. |

Snap, in my opinion its a bad idea ... besides once you have two vivs your on your way to a viv stack and then you can have at least three more royals to fill it  |

Good luck on getting the male, but it may be worth having your female probed in front of you (if your relying on the sex the seller told you).
I wouldnt house them together, it just about works with corns, I cant see it going well with royals. |

| Pretty much what's been said above. If you house them seperately you have control of the breeding side of things. Defo get them probed in front of you on more than one occaision. |
