Housing BP together
Hiyaa, just made an account here so bare with me, not completely sure what im doing so im sorry if this is in the wrong category.
Anyway I had a cornsnake for about 4/5 years and recently had my neighbours since she was evicted so I have 2 corn snakes and I love them to bits! But I've always wanted a BP!!! And so recently a couple not to far from me were selling all their snakes asap because they were moving. They've always housed the pythons together and never had a problem? (same size of course) I've always read housing them together causes stress on the snakes. 1's female called Elsie and the other they thingk is male and they've been together well over a year (Elsie was housed with a spider python before that who was sold) So anyway I brought the vivarium stack and the snakes they were selling. Its a lovely size, very high to (3th long, 4ft high, 2 1/2ft deep) just a rough guess on the size.
Only had them maybe 2 weeks ish but when i got them I was told heating equipment was with it all but it was only the heat mats, which is okay i will get there lights soon but looking at there pic they only had aspes bedding, a heatmat and water. I'm slowly making it alot better for them, proper hides, moss to help shedding (they were both shedding really bad) terrarium bedding (bark) and will soon have things in there so they can climb everywhere, eventually i want to go over the top and put a little waterfall in there with nice deep water haha. I will make it amazing for them.
Im just still a little worried maybe because they are housed together and I know it isnt ideal. I know people have had them together for years and never had a problem. They seem okay so far, of course I feed them separately, I've been watching them and they've not tried to attack eachother or anything like that. I have seen vids of pythons in the same viv fighting. But these 2 seem fine together, maybe because ones female and the other male?
Also I did say to them Im worried cause I dont want snake babies haha but she told be its quite hard breeding them so the chances are slimish?? is this true, I know nothing about breeding haha
Anyway thought I'd post for any advice anyone can give, worse comes to worse I will have to get rid of one since I have no room at all for another viv.
Thanks
