ball pythons have been known to be cannibalistic....

Why would you want to do that?

Cannabilism aside... it's not good to keep two snakes together. If one would get sick, it's a for sure that the other will get sick as well. Then you'll have two vet bills instead of one.

Also, if one gets sick, how are you going to tell if it's one or the other?

BPs are not social creatures, either. They don't enjoy sharing a space together, and it could cause many problems: not eating, being stressed, getting ill.

It's just not a good idea to house two of them together, no matter how much space you give them.

you dont want to put two balls together. just get another 20 gallon to put the second one in and you'll be set for awhile.

check this thread out: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...=keeping+balls

if you have any questions after reading that, ask.

Ball Python + Ball Python = Seperate enclosures. Period.

Agreed! How about a $8 rubbermaid with locking lid from Walmart? There is NO good reason to house BPs together. Do a search and you'll see why.
