Housing 2 BP's

Nate, I have to say that it is great that you are open enough to take everyone's advice/warnings with such grace - rather than becoming defensive and storming off because you didn't hear what you wanted. It definitely shows that you are willing to put the care of your animals first and are a responsible owner. :)

i would just buy another empty tank and use newspaper and cereal boxes for hides,its the cheapest and the only money you have to spend is on the snake itslef,

i wanted to get two corn snakes but i didnt think i had the money but in reality i did,it would have cost me basicly nothing becuase i had an extra ten gal and all the newspaper and all that stuff but instead i blew the rest on clothes,cuz i thought i would have to buy eco earth expensive hides and deco at petsmart and a 20 dolar heat pad and light,but obviously not

You would have to buy another tank anyway to quarantine the snakes, so definitely house them separately. I'm a big fan of the Rubbermaid idea; I used a Rubbermaid enclosure for Vash's quarantine.

woa i didnt even think about this but yall know how i bought a baby corn right ? well should i quarantine it ? i mean it hasnt been near my ball and i know it isnt infested with any kind of sickness .......plus what exactly does it mean do quarantine a snake anyway ?

Can't afford a rubbermaid or another tank then you can afford another snake.......I mean for the longest I did keep my two BPs in the same tank so Im not one that should talk.....

Yes, quarantine every snake you get. Keep it in a separate room if you can for at least a month, don't allow it any contact with the other snake, take extra care to not handle one snake and then the other without washing your hands, and keep an eye out for any ickies on the new snake that could harm the other one.
I think that's it....anyone else know of anything Brandon should watch out for?

ok maybe i could keep it in my parents room or somthing,the garage is way tooooooo hot.

Thank you tiger. I've learned to control the temper over the years. the only person i'll be pissed at on these boards is a troll...and you can't blame me, or anyone, for that.

i'm CERTAIN of the answer to this...but, it never hurts to ask (for others who may be wondering, but are scared to ask)...
It wouldn't be a good idea to introduce a boa and a ball python would it?

This should answer any remaining questions
