    Keeping Males and Females

    I figured it would be okay but wanted to check on here. It doesn't bother a ball python to keep one of the opposite gender in the same room but separate tank, right? They'd be about 8 feet apart. That's the best I can do as I have a tiny room. Just making sure they won't become territorial, stressed or otherwise affected (such as trying to escape to mate with the other one because they smell them)?

    Re: Keeping Males and Females

    Long as they aren't in the same enclosure they are fine. Many people keep males and females in the same rack mere inches from each other with no issues.
