excuse me! thats bs i keep them together because its healthier to heat one cage as opposed to heating two cages in the winter. the fact that you don't get this obviously means that one your a stuck up rich person or two you have money to blow. as for the rest of us we have to pay for some of this stuff out of our own ever decreasing pockets so yes saving a buck or two matters to me you :soapbx:

The fact that you are resorting to name calling and type casting either means (1) you're a child or (2) you have a limited capacity to grasp the debate being discussed in this thread.

You just stated that it was a "health" issue. Now it appears that it is a money issue.
In other words, my post in which you quoted was essentially correct. Until you can convince us of the health benefit you alluded to, it appears that in your case, you are indeed potentially sacrificing the well being of your animals to save a buck.

That is not BS this is true owner housing multiple BP together do not do it to benefit their animals, because there is absolutely no benefit in housing multiple BP together, and your post just prove who the benefits are for........YOU
Re: Can i put 2 male bps in the same tank without problems?
I would NEVER house my bps together to save a few bucks. I am about as far from rich as you can get, there are times I make sure my animals have food and supplies before myself. Their needs are always met before mine b/c I CHOSE to bring them into my life. What a stupid excuse to use, if you can't afford to take care of them properly (and if you cant afford to heat two tubs, they you CANT afford to keep them!) then DON"T HAVE THEM!

W...T....F.... are you even talking about???
Healthier to house them together because it's HEALTHIER to heat one cage....
that HAS to be the lamest thing I have EVER heard!
It has NOTHING at all to do with being RICH...If you get a pet...of ANY kind...you should be able to provide it with the absolute BEST care possible. If you can't then you shouldn't own it! and further more.....if your pockets are steadily decreasing...maybe you shouldn't own pets.
That doesn't mean buying the most expensive of everything...hell...I have cool whip containers and chinese food dishes for hides....I have r-maid tubs that cost WAY less than ANY aquarium!
:soapbx:
Now...if someone would like to give me a real benefit in housing multiple bp's I am waiting to hear them...
:)

Wow, just wow that's all i have to say...i think my IQ just dropped
1. Explain how it's healthier? healthier for who? cuz that made absolutley NO sense
2. Rich? if you can't afford to keep your snakes then don't get them if you can't provide for them properly i know people that are far from rich that have bp's all housed seperatley and can afford to feed them no problem.
3. I agree with most of the people here, why would you come on this forum and ask for an opinion from people that have been keepping these animals for YEARS and then turn it down and go down your own path. I'm relatively new to this forum and i take advice from the people here because i know they're much more experienced than me (atleast most of them) and i don't try to argue with them whether they're right or wrong, I just take the advice...cuz chances are THEY'RE RIGHT.
Re: Can i put 2 male bps in the same tank without problems?
I give up. obviously you are housing your snakes together and are not taking any heed of what experienced people here are telling you. We tried being nice; we tried backing up our reasoning with true facts. So I give up. Poor snakes.
Re: Can i put 2 male bps in the same tank without problems?
ah yes the health benifit is this i have a 32 gal. tank they're both in i also have a 55gal. tank that the larger bp was in i only have 2 uths so it was one apiece. by putting them in together in the 32 gal. tank and dividing it 1 i saved money because i didn't need another uth and 2 because they both live in a smaller area it is easier to keep temp and humidity up this is my reason for keeping my snakes in the same divided tank

you never stated the tank was DIVIDED...but if it is soooo much easier...than why is there a thread right now that your snake possibly has a RI?
You are giving out advice and you don't even know what you are talking about.
