    Housing females together?
    I was wondering if it was acceptable to house two females together until I can get them separate cages. I don't know exactly how long this will take. Ones 700g +/- and the other is 175g +/-
    I can do lots of hides and feed them separately...
    I don't have them yet but I was considering...

    No that's not a good idea. Ball pythons are solitary reptiles except when breeding. If you keep them together it will cause them stress. You also run the risk of the larger one eating the smaller one. I think it's rare however it happens. If you do get them. You can keep them in separate tubs. I use the Hefty brand of storage containers, for my collection. However its not a good idea to keep them together. I hope this helps you.
