Separate them...absolutely. They should never have been put together in the first place.

You should definately seperate them. No good ever comes out of keeping two snakes together.

-If one poos, and it's runny, how are you going to know who did it?

-Even though it isn't something that happens much, the bigger one could eat the smaller one.

-Stress. Ball pythons get stressed from being housed together and will either compete for a spot, or compete for heat.

Besides, you should have two hides a snake, so why only two for two snakes?

You could also use the search function to troll for some advice on this subject that's already been posted.

Did you look it up HERE? Cause I really don't remember a post on this forum where housing two or more snakes was ever a good idea.

I hope your hets prove for ya!

???? If the breeder is advocating keeping them together, I'd question the integrity of their being hets. But that's just MOI.
