ballpython care

can i keep 2 ballpythons in the same cage

my female ball hasent been eating she takes a mouse every few weeks like almost once in every 2 months i know some thing most be wrong

Hi,

Given that she is already not eating then I would say no. Now is not the time to add any extra stress into her environment.

There are lots of threads on here asking that same question. It is not recommend because of stress, health etc. You say the one you have doesn't eat on a weekly bases. Housing two together may not help with that at all. I'm just curious as to why you want to keep two in the same cage.

i just have a lot of snakes to deal with. but she just stoped eating for no reson cant figer it out got a new female coming just trying to get her right before then. i just put her in a 10g figer she need less space she only 300 somthing grams she was in a 55 costom she wasent eating before the change im puting the new female in the costom cage but in a 10g i have cages with in cages for humid the humid is always 50 she had a parfect shed this mouth her temp is always 85 to 90 she has uv light in the day 2.0 bulb if u know whats wrong plz help shes alone till tusday cant get a fecal exzame cuz she wont eat running out of options

Hi,

Your vet might still be able to get a sample to test - I think the procedure is called a cloacal wash or something?
