    Yeah, it might have been a good deal, but the deal doesn't matter if you aren't going to give them the proper housing. Only one snake per enclosure. Why would you rather let them be put throught the stress of housing them together? It's not fair to the snakes.

    Whatever floats your boat, dude...

    Well, hopefully, they aren't in the same hide. My snakes stay in their hide while they are in the blue stage so as long as your snakes don't get close by each other, I doubt you would have a problem. Just be ready to take them apart if something happens.

    But JW, if you have another setup, why not use that one for the second snake? It's not like they enjoy eachother's company, and it's rather selfish if you're keeping them together for display. (Not saying that's what your doing, just throwing some guesses out)

    Sorry if I come out too harsh, I just want what's best for your snakes.

    Oh, yeah. Usually, they will rub up against something while they shed to get it off. most likely, you will end up with a bad shed. Just be ready to soak him once you are in VA. Are you moving?

    Sorry but by the sounds of it you aren't very bother about the well being of your snakes, infact it sounds like they are just something you saw and thought "Wow, those would look cool in my room".

    If you want any help from people here then I advise you take their first piece of advice and SEPARATE you snakes PERMANENTLY.

    Alot of the people on this forum breed BPs, so now you know for a fact they should be housed separately. Not simply because they might eat eachother (which is a possibility and they would both die) , purely because they don't live in groups and it causes alot of stress you could easily avoid if you actually cared.

    please do your snakes a big favor, accept the advice you've been given as it's all correct, why bother asking if your not going to do what's recommended? you are taking chances with your snakes that are silly, a bp WILL eat another bp if stressed enough, i know i've seen pics, not pretty, if you can't afford/spend time to do your husbandry correctly please find a home for them where they will be taken care of.

    He is completely ignoring anyone whos giving him advice which he doesn't like the sound of. Personally I think you should own a hamster or something like that because you obviously don't care about what a BP needs.

    Don't expect anyone to help you out if your not willing to take advice which is in the best interest of your snakes.
