    Bps ok to be together?!?

    My room mate just got a baby ball python. Mines probably 3 feet long and 2 years old.

    Is it ok to let them play together? We both have our own setups, but I just wanted to be sure they will be fine with each other or are there any dominance/snake eating snake issues hahaha

    Thanks!!!

    See thats the thing, im not saying having them live together, I just want to put them both on my bed and see what they do. Is that dangerous in any way or are they tame to their own kind?

    thanks!

    you should b ok but make sure you quarintine the new one for at least 30 days before any "introductions" so to say. but with any type of pet watch how they react to each other.

    thanks!
    After a proper quarantine of about 60 days you can have them out together.

    Don't expect them to show much interest in each other though. They definitely won't "play" with each other.

    Ok thank you.

    One last thing, by quarantine I assume you guys mean have them living in isolation?

    Essentially. You want to stop any possible spread of disease, so other precautionary measures like making sure you don't share cage furniture or touch them both before washing up help too.
