Females Together?

[Daniel Kiely]

I know a guy who keeps his juvi females together I don't believe in it but I also don't see the harm. What your guys take on it? Is it okay?

Daniel.

Also just another question that I have and because I don't want to spam this site I'm just going to add it on this post.

What is a decent pricing for a Spider het Albino in your opinions?

It's never good to house balls together unless it's for breeding or newborns.
It causes stress towards all of the animals. They're going to be constantly trying to dominate each other in finding the best spot in the enclosure. If one gets sick, the other will definitely get sick as well. This goes for mites as well. It will be harder to quarantine ill or mite infested animals if they are all together. And while the chances are low, there are reports of balls cannibalizing cage mates. So for the safety of all animals, it is best to house individually.

Spider het albinos...It depends if you want a male or female.
I believe females go for $500-600. I'm not sure what males go for, but it will be less than females.

Housing snakes together is something only experienced keepers should do and it is generally never recommended. I've temporarily housed two juvie females together in a 41qt tub before and even though there was plenty of room for them to sit side by side on either side of the tub they would sit on top of each other. Ball pythons really hate being housed together. Every time I see them together at pet stores they are sitting on top of each other like my girls did. As Nikki said there are a lot of risks that come with housing them together as well.
