Re: is this a good idea
ball pythons have been known to be cannibalistic....

Re: is this a good idea
Why would you want to do that?

Re: is this a good idea
Cannabilism aside... it's not good to keep two snakes together. If one would get sick, it's a for sure that the other will get sick as well. Then you'll have two vet bills instead of one.
Also, if one gets sick, how are you going to tell if it's one or the other?
BPs are not social creatures, either. They don't enjoy sharing a space together, and it could cause many problems: not eating, being stressed, getting ill.
It's just not a good idea to house two of them together, no matter how much space you give them.

Re: is this a good idea
you dont want to put two balls together. just get another 20 gallon to put the second one in and you'll be set for awhile.
check this thread out: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...=keeping+balls
if you have any questions after reading that, ask.

Agreed! How about a $8 rubbermaid with locking lid from Walmart? There is NO good reason to house BPs together. Do a search and you'll see why.

Funny you should mention those $8 containers with locking lids! I was just at WalMart tonight and picked up 2 $8 Sterilite 40 qt containers with locking lids in preparation for my two girls I'm getting in January! Woo Hoo! Even told Karl he could wrap them as presents for me! LOL It was the last 2 that they had.

Imagine that! $8 was just some arbitrary number pulled out of my head!! Only people like us would be that excited about Sterilites!!
Congrats on the Sterilites and your new girls...

Bad idea. Breeding being the only exception - and that is only a temporary situation.

Re: is this a good idea
Just a note, I kept my two ball pythons together for a couple months. We had bought them at the same time, and they had been kept together also at their previous home. Having read up here I decided that they should be seperated and did so. Now they each have a sterilite tub to themselves. They eat EVERY meal now(before they wouldn't eat sometimes sometimes they would) they have gained tremendously in weight and length and seem happier more relaxed snakes now.
MY personal exeriance says hey gee.. the reptile breeder experts on this board are right. All my guys are housed individually.
