    AHH! I feel like such a bad owner!

    Alright, so I was cleaning out the cages tonight for my two ball pythons and somehow got a crack in the aquarium. So, I decide it isn't a good idea to keep the snake in there because it is a pretty nasty crack and I didn't want the snake to get cut. Well, I decided that one night in the same enclosure wouldn't hurt until I could get to the store tomorrow. I was laying there in bed and I hear what sounds like a snake pouncing a rat/mouse, so I get up to check on all the snake and I see that the little ball python has a hold on, and is trying to constrict the bigger one! So I grab the two immediately and separate them, fortunately there is just minimal bleeding so far, we are going in for a vet check tomorrow just to make sure everying is fine. I know better than to keep them together, but I figured one freakin night wouldn't hurt. Well, I guess I know better, and to everyone on here, it is worth going to walmart for a tub and lid. I just got back from there and have everyone settled in. I feel like crap for letting this happen.

    It's not the end of the world, but that's definitely a lesson for not putting two bps together! I'm sure they'll heal quickly. I would have a spare sterlite for those just in case moments. If nothing else, you can use it while cleaning the tanks.
