 ATB’s kept together

I can’t seem to find anything on wether or not they can be housed together and was hoping someone with more experience could answer that for me.

Typically, you should not house snakes together. They are not social animals and they live solitary lives, coming together only to mate. If you house them together it can cause unneccesary stress on all animals involved and could even lead to potential health problems.

For some species that’s true,others its not althought they all lead a soliary lifestyle many share dwellings,burrough’s,trees ,whatever,with multiple others and some even multiple species. Obviously from your answer this is not one of them and that was mainly what I was wondering thanks

In the wild, Garters and some species of Rattlers share winter dens for their brumation and mating, then they all go their separate ways for the rest of the year. There may be another species or two...however, most other species are solitary except for mating in early spring, where males seek out females then go their own way long before clutching/birth.
