    2 BPs in one tank?
    I was at a store where when I asked about BELs, I was told by the girl working to follow her into a back room and she had 3,the store had about 100 snakes all in racks. They said it wouldn't be an issue to have 2 in a large tank at home, my only worry is that if I get a male and a female, that the male would mate with her while she's too young (she's only a year old)

    I have about $1200-$1300 to play with and can't decide what type of BP morph to get, the worker said a bumble bee (x butter) and my pastel could potentially make killer butter bumble bees which can be very expensive... They also said that my pastel and the BEL wouldn't make any BPs that are worth a lot of money... Is this true?

    I just sold my bearded dragons and have a very large tank that I could use once I take all the sand out and clean/disinfect it...

    Don't breed for money. Pastel lessers/butters and pastel Mojaves still look beautiful even though their price tag has dropped. They are still desired morphs.

    If you're going to drop that much money into your snakes, why risk anything(illness, mite transfer, cannibalism, premature breeding, etc) by housing them together? Just put a cage divider so you can still use your large tank.

    Won't need a divider as I have a large tank available now from selling my bearded dragons.

    Sorry if I misunderstood. So you'll have 2 enclosures for 2 snakes? Or 2 snakes for 1 enclosure?

    Now it's 2 tanks, 1 snake in each, which is what we have was going to do all along but the guy at the store said it would be fine to keep 2 together... If I knew it would be I wouldn't have asked about it here but spending $1000+ I don't want to risk that....
