    Antisocial or Social?
    Are ball pythons more social or antisocial, do they like being with other pythons. Its what I have been wondering for some time now :/

    They are solitary animals, they do not seek each other out except during breeding.

    As snakes go, they're pretty social. But that doesn't mean the same thing it does for dogs or wolves or humans or elephants.

    Anti-social.

    They are not generally found together in the wild. I don't actually know of any truly social snakes. Some species will gather in huge groups in hibernaculums to brumate for the winter (ball pythons don't brumate), and I think king cobras are the only species where mates stay in the same area to defend the nest after mating.

    Ball pythons would much rather be alone.

    They are neither social nor anti-social.

    They are non-social.

    Their species does not have any kind of social mechanisms.

    Everyone else has said it best.

    They'd much rather be alone, putting two togather aside from breeding creates stress.
