Re: Mixing snakes????????
Why put the undue stress on the snake? Two snakes will compete for space; for the best basking/heating spot; the best hide. Setting up identical hides? They will still stress each other out by merely moving around the cage. Not to mention disease spreading.. much wasier to catch a disease frrom a tankmate than a snake in a seperate enclosure. And if one gets sick, both need to be treated..
BPs are not social animals. They join up to mate briefly, and then the mother incubates her eggs; that is the extent of it.

Ya i think he has a few. I know I was watching a video where he was just letting it cruise around on the floor or something and then he was trying to put it back in a tub and he was doing a very poor job of handling it. You should watch his videos they are definately interesting to say the least.

Re: Mixing snakes????????
i just got back from a local pet store and i was DISGUSTED!!! OMFG this pissed me way off. okay so im looking at all these reptiles and cages look like crap. snakes all have stuck shed and he's selling them WAY to expensive. i get to what looks like a 55Gallon Tall tank and guess how many Balls were in there? just take a wild guess. most stores do the 1 to 10 thing. i counted over 200 baby bp!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is up with these people are they that stupid? they were all babys and just moving around each other. so i acted like i was new to the whole "snake thing" and asked him is it okay for them. he said yes, matter of fact they love the company! i asked him how he feeds them. he says he just thaws a big bag of pinkies out and then plops it in there. keep in mind 1 water dish that had coconut bark in it so it was brown water. no hides. no temperature. Poop everywhere! god i wish there was a law against this. he has a sign " ball pythons 80.00 sale price 40.00!! i wanted to feed him to his 14 foot burmese. i felt so bad. i dont have a rack big enough for all of them nor the funds. just thought id let you know the only reptile store in el paso is possibly the worst one in the world! i think he did the BP lottery.
