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?

Ball pythons are solitary snakes and do much better imo separated.

No--if you need to get additional animals, make sure you can house them all appropriately.

If you can afford another snake, you can afford another enclosure.

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...

Sorry to get off subject, but since it was brought up and this problem seems to be solved...........................I saw your statement that Ball Pythons aren't really good "display snakes". I have just got back into owning snakes after some time off and just have the one juvenile ball. I used to have a retic, Emerald tree Boa, Red-tail Python, Burmese and a Green Anaconda. I think for the most part, there are people like most of us on this site that just love snakes, then there are people that hate them. Then there are people that don't have them as pets because they feel they are "boring" pets. In your opinion, or anyone elses that may want to comment, which snakes do you consider good "display snakes"?

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