Re: Housing balls together
in my opinion: if theyre the same size, and theres ALOT of hides and "brush" stuff, that would make it less risky. BUT, if one gets sick, they both do, and there is still always the risk of cannibalism, it does happen. ive seen pictures of bp's that have eaten other bp's that were bigger than them, so you might be amazed (like i was) when you see what these guys can really put down. it also might help if they were both younger, not babies though, make sure theyve been eating for i'd say at least six months. and if theyre together, you would have to keep them well fed, they might be less prone to decide to eat the first thing they see (the other snake) the second they get hungry. this is all just my opinion. i did succesfully house two bp's together (for a while), but unfortunatly the newer one i introduced past shortly after. so then i housed a cali king in with the other bp (we litteraly found him right on my doorstep as a baby), since i had no other place to put him. and they did "fine" together, probably not all that happy, but most of the time i would find them wrapped around eachother (there were no signs of aggression, they would always be loosly wrapped), they lived together for about three years then i found the kingsnake crushed underneath the wood hut with my bp curled in a ball sitting on top of it:(
