    Making sure my BP is ok
    Hi my name is Tayte and I've had my two bps for about 7 months now and they've both been fine. I've made them a large cage that they live in but my biggest one is the one I'm worried about. He has been aggressive ever since I got him and is calm every now and then so I was wondering if there is any way I could help him warm up to me faster? Also he has not eaten in a couple months and I'm quite worried but from what I've read he looks healthy so I was just hoping for some input. Thanks

    Are they in the same cage? Housing two ball pythons together can cause stress.

    You'll want to separate them. Housing them together causes stress and a variety of other risks too. It's one of the reasons why one of your ball python is not eating, and probably also one of the reasons why he's in a bad mood sometimes. Maybe you can post a couple pictures and description of your setup?

    My cage is about 4 ft wide and 6 ft tall but the lights take up a foot of the cage about. There's two a day heat lamp and night and the night heat lamp I keep on 24/7. They have two hidey holes one about halfway up and another on the bottom under the water bowl. They have a piece of wood in there that's about 4 ft tall and winds all the way up till about +6in from the lights. And how do you and an image?

    They are and I mainly had them together because that's how they were given to me. But if its a large cage does it matter or no?

    Large cage or not, it doesn't matter. They are solitary animals and should only be together during breeding season. I recommend getting a new cage as soon as possible. I think you will definitely notice some personality changes once they are separated. As redshepherd said, they probably won't eat because of the stress of being with another snake. I wish you the best of luck and please keep us updated! :)
