Hi there,

I am a new owner of two ball pythons hatched in sep 09. Now, I have read every book I could find and every care sheet I could find. Now what I am wondering is, if it is OK to have two ball pythons in the same terrarium. They are pretty small now and the terrarium is 100x50x50 cm. I do have several hides and a lot of plastic plants to get the "rubble" safe feeling. The previous owner might not have been totally honest with me about the snakes eating, one of them were in really bad shape after beeing in hibernation or whatever you call it from october to may and according to him ate a mouse one week before I bought it. The snake were very extreamly skinny. Now, none of the snakes have been eating voluntarily, of wich one has been assist fed twice. So my question is if it really is possible to have two ball pythons in the same enclosure. They are a male and a female. And if that could be a reason for not eating?

Greatful for reply
