Can I house two ball pythons together?
Both of them are still young but 1 is bigger than the other. I'm not 100% but I think they are both female. I have the bigger 1 in a 20 gallon long tank & the other in a 10 gallon. I am about to purchase a hatchling mosaic king snake & was thinking of putting that one in the 10 gallon on a stand that my milk snake tank is on (the stand holds 2 ten gallon tanks). I see the ball pythons of different sizes in peoples houses, pet stores, etc housed together and was wondering do you guys think that it would be ok or if they would fight or something? My son's (the bigger 1) is not really as nice or tolerates handling as well as the smaller one does but neither one of them has ever bit me and they have swim in the bath tub together before. I was thinking if i put mine's hide spot & stuff in there would they be ok?

Well, yes Heather I can afford another enclosure. I was just asking this because I have seen them in tanks together & wondered if it is ok. Now I know it is not ok so i will go buy another enclosure to put the new snake in. No need to get rude... Geez! I was asking help not to be condescended!
Thank you all! I will get my ball python a 20 gallon tank as well.

You might look into building a small snake rack to save room, ball pythons don't make the best display snakes, and tanks just suck to properly heat and keep decent humidity in at the same time.
Good luck!
I agree with your comments by the way...:gj:

Heather was not being condescending at all. You asked if it would be ok to house them together and you got your answer.

I was not be condescending nor rude. I was just simply stating that if you can afford another snake you can also get another enclosure. It is just the internet, therefore take it as you wish.
I wish all the best of luck for you and your animals in whatever decision you make.
