NEW Frm Las Vegas NV

:bow:


thank you all for the welcomes and the hints and tips... I did note that more then one person mentioned housing them separate.. I received them together in one large [possible 40 -50 gal tank size] habitat and they seem very content most of the time...
I could I guess partition the habitat so they are separated but I didn't even think of it because they have been together all these years.

Welcome to the forums, and congrats on the new family members! I live slightly north of you. There aren't so many NV reptile keepers, it's always nice to see more!

Well, it's certainly not my call to make but I think you should separate them. Snakes don't show aggression like mammals do, so there may be territorial conflicts that you are not aware of. I know it's a hassle to buy another huge cage, but there are other options as well. Many snake keepers here like to keep ball pythons in big plastic Rubbermaid tubs with holes soldered in the lid. A 40qt works well for a ball python, and only costs around $10. You could partition the cage you have now (make sure it's a sturdy divider), but it depends on how large the snakes are. A 40gal aquarium is just about right for one adult ball.

Anyways, if you have any more questions, we're here to help! :)
