    what are the benefits of housing multiple bp's in a single enclosure???

    Since some of you may not have read the thread on housing multiple bp's...I asked a question and I am anxiously awaiting some intelligent answers.

    So I ask you...anybody...

    What are the benefits of housing more than one bp in a single enclosure?

    I am here curled up with popcorn and a blankie, anxiously awaiting people's replies on why BP cohabitation is better.
    My thoughts? Because people are too cheap to buy and setup 2 cages. Because they want to save on space at their snake's expense. Or the popular "my snaikes LUB each otha!"

    Same sex? If so NONE! A male housed with a female a few times a week works Great for breeding... Other then that, There are NO benefits just PROBLEMS...

    Your not going to get any.......

    ........that is unless my good buddy Serpent-Prey can go into a bit more detail on his vague claim that heating two enclosures in unhealthy...........

    It always comes down to either owner convenience or bad examples set by retailers. I used to see the same crap with tropical fish.......people mixing wrong species, putting highly territorial fish in a community, ignoring sex ratios, etc.

    The rationale is always the same - "store XYZ does it" or "I read in book ABC that it's okay".

    ..or my personal favorite - "I've been doing it for a year and have had no problems".
