keeping males&females together pre breeding

Hello everyone ive have a 06 female i wanted to save space and put my 06 male in with my female him since she has the better habitat,but have gotten mixed info could anyone please help me with some knowlege on this subject :confused:

It's a bad idea to keep two BPs together permenantly. You should keep them apart until they are ready to be bred.

Never house 2 bp's together no matter what the sex:colbert:

Also premature breeding is very hard on the female as well if I remember correctly.

Definitely a NO NO

Here are couple of reasons

They are solitary animals.

2 Ball Pythons housed together can create problems such as stress, going of feed, spreading of diseases, parasites, mites, premature breeding, you are also at risk for serious injuries and sometimes even death.

Not to mention possible cannibalism.

Thank you everyone i will be sure not to make that mistake,I like my babies to much to watch survivor aquarium style.

I am glad to read that you'll house them seperately, good call. :)
