Do female balls get attracted to female?

[seafacing]

Okay.
Couple days ago, I lost one of my most expensive snakes. She's half years old. And I found her in my backpack. (Yes, I found her during my biology class..) Anyways, I decided to put her in the huge glass tank where I have 1800g two years old female ball. And I had to use one more heat pad and the hiding wood for the another one to live in temporarily. However, interesting thing happened... The baby snake would always go next to the huge female, instead of her hiding. So, I had to take her out and place her under the hidings that I created for her, but she would still get out and go on top of the large female... So is this behavior normal? She was acting like a male ball that I used to put in with old ball for breeding purposes. Or did I get scammed...

I bought her online from facebook... Do I have to sex myself to figure this out..? I dont have a probe.
Thank you so much.

Why are you housing them together? That's not good.

this is a temporal solution until I can find a good cage for her because she had been escaping from her cage all the time.
Thank you

I've never had ball pythons together except for breeding, so can't give any personal insight. But if it's come into question then having it sexed wouldn't be a bad idea so you have piece of mind. If you've never sexed a snake before it would be best to take her to someone who has experience in it.

On a side note she looks gorgeous. Love that black spot! Is he just a unique pied or is there something else in the mix?

Thank you! the previous owner had her in her clutch. All the other pied were normal. So this is probably mutation, but really cool one xD

BPs usually try to find the best spot in their surroundings based on temperature and safety. If they appear to be "cuddling," it's usually because they are fighting over the same spot because it's just the right temp for them.

I would be terrified to leave a baby snake in a tank with a much bigger snake. I'm no expert but personally I'd go to walmart and get a plastic tub for the little one for now. They're like $10 or less, you can use paper towels and some cardboard boxes as hides. Cheap as anything. It would be a shame to wake up and find out you only have one snake now, especially with how pretty she is.
