    dominance issues?

    Lately my male ball pythons have been displaying what seems to me like dominance issues they don't seem irritated with each other but one is always laying atop the other. I just wanna make sure this isn't gonna be an issue they came together and went doing it the first month and it started recently.

    Thanks. Kristie.

    They are probably competing for warmth. You shouldn't be housing two snakes in the same enclosure unless for breeding purposes. They are solitary animals and will stress if they are in a confined space with one another. House them separately and they'll be much better off.

    Yeah not recommended to house multiple snakes in one enclosure as yes they will compete for the best spots. In the wild snakes usually have their own territories and you dont see them close to each other often. They usually only group in one location during mating season.
