Oooppps! I housed two balls together!!!

Thank you so much everyone, I am delighted at your patience, kindness, and understanding!

I'm sure I will be here again,

ya these ppl rock! They're so nice :)

Everyone makes mistakes! Heck, Lord knows I made my share in the early stages of snake keeping. You have definately come to the right place for understanding people who will help you in the right way. We just appreciate it when some one wants to do the right thing.

Please don't feel stupid, you genuinely didn't know and as soon as you found out you're taking action to correct the problem. Sounds pretty smart to me. :)

Count me among people who make mistakes - I had exactly the same thing with 2 corns I took in from some people who "always kept them together" - and like your BPs they would cuddle up together. My biggest mistake ever was to get a parrot without researching first what they could be like - I was under the (erroneous) impression that if you got a parrot as a hand-reared baby they would always stay that way - boy, did I learn the hard way ... Anyways, welcome to the forum (I'm still relatively new myself) - but these people are great :)

Definately take them to get probed for their sex. Females can be housed with eachother fine, but males with males=NOO!!! and male with female should only be done while mating. Oh, and even housing a female with a female can be risky with the canabalistic factor.

The ONLY time two snakes should be housed together is for mating purposes. Period. No exceptions.
