    Togetherness lol

    This is sort of a basic question, found some answers but trust the people on here more than randoms on yahoo answers. Would it be all right to house at least 2 bp's together? M/m m/f f/f

    Nope. Not a good idea at all, the cons outweigh the pros.

    Thumbs down

    A friend of mine raised two siblings together and hasn't had an issue, but I would definitely not recommend this at all.

    It's 100% safer and easier to set up two different enclosures. Is it convenient for the keeper to house together..... Yes. Is it necessarily good for ball pythons.....no.

    Although it's common knowledge to keep snakes in separate enclosures, if you're looking for specific answers against housing them together this is a good read. http://pet-snakes.com/housing-snakes-together

    As others have said, it's a very bad idea to house two bps together for any purpose other than breeding. And even then, it's only for a few days at a time with breaks between...
