Me - Oh just to let you know I would seperate all of your snakes that are in that one huge cage

Me- if one gets sick they most likely all will if contaigious and the ule is one snake per cage

Her - wich one

Me - the one with the balls and the carpet pytthons

Her - never hade a problem

Me - I know but they should be seperated

Her - they are a pythons so its ok

Me - I hate to see more than one snake in a cage unless it is for breeding purposes

Her - all

Me - no its not okay

Me - Just because they are pythons doesnt make it okay

Her - who are youanyway

Me - 2 ball pythons shouldnt even share the smae cage

Me - im Andre

Her - your not an expert

Her - ask Jim

Me - I know but i read about it all the time

Me - Jim only has them together because its a pet store and for him to make them all a seperate cage it is a waste of money because they arnt being kept as pets

Her - just cause a book says so dosent mean that thats the only way you can do it

Me - I know and i read it online from alot of people and alot of the BIG breeders say one snake a cage

Her - ask him if its ok and he'll say yes

Her - im not a breeder

Me - ask who

Her - jim

Me - Well he is WRONG

Her - remember that there are different ways to do things

Me - I know

Me - but housing them all in the same cage is not the right way to do it

Her - what works for me works

Me - there is the right and then there is the wrong nd right now ur balls are in the wrong because they should have the same cage

Her - says who!!!!!!!!!!!

Me - I know but they also need different requirments

Me - whta do you mean says who?

Her - they all can thrive in the setup they are in

Me - They can but they shouldnt

Me - be house together

Her - it works

Me - I no it works but its not right for the snake as ball pythons and carpet pythons probably wouldnt even meet in the wild

Her - my snakes wouldnt be alive in the wild they are captive bred

Me - I know

Her - this is what theyre used to

Me - no they arent

Her - should i freak them out by separating them

Her - theyer used to eachother

Me - you wont freak them out just let them settle into their own home

Me - i no they are but they could also eat eachother one time someones ball was missing whnen they had to in a cage and then one dided and the cut it open and the other one was in side it

Me - I would just seperate them

Her - they have been together for 3 years that would have happened already

Me - Not neccisarley

Me - http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ght=snake+cage

Me - read that

Her - dont tell me how to house mine and i wont tell you how to house yours ok

Me - i no but i hate going into your herp room and seing them like that

Her - then dont

Her - not being mean im just saying

Me - I am not trying to be mean or anything but neither of us are experts

Me - I take advice from breeders that hatch thousands of balls a year

Me - well not just balls snakes

Her - just cause someone else says its right doesnt mean its right for me

Me - Yes it is right for you its right for everyone I dont like it when people mistreat their snakes


By the way Jim is a guy that owns a mom and pop store here where I live. I tried to explain to her about keeping them seperate but it didnt work. Who do you think is wrong?
