Getting a new snake...

[kittiekat414]

Do Ball Pythons get along with each other very well? I have a nice big cage, and a 3 ft. young ball named Nathan. I was offered a new ball, also young, a bit over two feet. I know the cage is big enough for the both of them, but I was wondering if they will get along. Does anyone have any advice for me? And if I do have them both, what's the best way to go about feeding them?

the rule of thumb is one per cage. You will have them competing for hides and if one gets sick there is a good chance that they both will get sick. What i would do if you can't afford two cages. I would just go pick up a rubbermaid tube for now. Put some flex watt under a part of it (heat tape or uth) and use a light dimmer to controll the heat. well thats just my 2 cents.

I agree with the poster above. You should house them in seperate cages.

Separate cages is the way to go.
