    More than 1 BP in a cage?
    I'm just curious, is there a rule about having more than 1 BP in a single environment?

    Not a good practice...could lead to dominance issues (or what most people call cuddling), and any health issue (RI) that pops up in one will most likely spread to the other...

    Most keepers tend to keep them separate for a number of reasons. First off they are solitary by nature, they do not need friends. Its is also easier to know who is eating, pooping, peeing etc properly if they are separate. If your intentions are breeding, keeping them apart allows you to have more control over the process. You will be able to anticipate when you'll have eggs
    and be prepared not surprised by their arrival.
