two male bp in one 55gallon

rubbermaids? screw that... someone needs a brain for a birthday present. or perhaps some new fingers, since clicking on a ball python caresheet is so hard for them.

Lost me . . .

Little harsh wizill....

Yeah, I didn't get it. :?

Oh haha, I get it now... DOH!

Trust me guys, this guy is no friend of mine. He told me that they dont mind huddling together one little bit :roll:

Well, of course he's probably right about that. I mean...if they really minded living on top of each other, then he'd hear them arguing and griping about it all the time. Quiet and docile equals happy and content...doesn't it? :roll:

holy crap - I assumed this guy was doing it out of total ignorance but if he went against advice he deserves a slap.

LOL

And it might well be true, those creature comforts. Ours are all housed seperately but the new pair Do seem to draw something from each others company. On handling the female is very comfortable if not downright curious - not headshy and does not stress. The male on the other hand is VERY headshy and though he calms quickly is easlily spooked. If I hold them both at the same time so that there is body contact his shyness disappears and he adopts the females relaxed and curious attitude and takes all handling overtures in stride. He even triies to hop in HER cage when it is time to go back in. They are late '03 so far from sexual maturity. It may be a fluke that he exhibits this playmate behavior and they won't be sharing an enclosure until they are ready to breed, but interesting behavior nonetheless.

Every time I try handling the kingsnakes together though they must not like each other because they are always trying to bite each other OMGWTFBBQ!!

(that last line is obviously in jest)
