Bad Shed, New Ball Owner

....and get them in their own enclosures!!!

do you ever notice the snakes "cuddling"? Are they very active?

When using a uth you must must must use a thermostat or a dimmer if you can't afford a thermostat. This will prevent belly burns. How are you measuring your temps?

They are active in the evening and at night. They spend their days in their hides. They sometimes share a hide, sometimes sleep in seperate hides. I don't have a uth so no, I don't have a thermostat or dimmer. If/when I add a uth, it will be on a thermostat.

. . . when not if ;)

I'm under the impression it's not terribly unheard of for two balls to coexist. Is that not true?

UTH's are pretty much standard in the BP husbandry world. As long as you use a T-Stat, the chances of something bad happening are small.

Though probably not related to the problem you're having with their eyes, you really do need to have them in sperate enclosures.
