Oh jeez...I didn't even see that...

[Brass City Reptiles]

Yes.I know I'm not suppose to but I have had them in there with no problem I feed in separate tubs. And when they get a Lil older I'm going to separate them

[Skittles1101]

Well clearly you don't know why your not supposed to, otherwise you wouldn't.....

it is important for people to respect other's care preferences. But try to take advice on here for what it is worth. You probably see these two snakes "cuddle" at times, thinking it's cute. But unless the species has a reliable trait of being social it usually isn't what it seems. It is probably passive aggressive competition for the sweeter spots in the tank. I don't know your snakes, and have little information on them, but don't take what I say as criticism. There are always exceptions to any rules, and most people on here would rather give you the conventional wisdom and feel safer than tell you something that might hypothetically work. As for these supposed money grubbers... these are the people that are trying to bring this hobby into the next generation with innovation and expertise. They are the ones creating the amazing morphs that we all enjoy and cherish. If anything they should be commended. The care they use for their breeders is perfectly fine. Ball pythons can have large tanks like yours, and they can also be kept in smaller tubs.

Yes u r right About it all but if ur not here seeing how they r then for her to come out like that is wrong. And I asked a breeder out here and I was told it is ok for a Lil it is not a forever setup for them.

@Married, the people here aren't in it 'for the money', they are snake lovers first, breeders second, sellers last. The health and comfort of the snake is important, more important than anything else.

That being said, everything I have read points to housing two BP's together is bad. There are multiple reasons for this, all of which you can find on this site. The people that commented in this thread aren't trying to be rude. Their posts reflected this. They are simply trying to advise you so that you can better care for your snakes. This way, you have them to enjoy for years to come, rather than some terrible thing happening and you losing one, or both, snakes. Heaven forbid that ever happen, but I'm thinking worst case scenario.

Please, even if you don't take the advice presented on this forum and in this thread, please realize that nobody is here to attack you, they are simply trying to help. Even if it makes you uncomfortable, you should at least consider their words.

Thank you for reading this!

Edit: Looks like nachash beat me to the punch. Very good points.
