    Can an AP T10 house two fully grown ball pythons?

    I have one female ball python now and have been wanting to move her into a bigger cage. I'm thinking about the T10. If I decide to get another snake, would they each be comfortable in one half of the cage for the rest of their life, or would I need to get them their own cages at some point to give them more space?

    Also, she's a year and a half old and about two feet long. Should I divide her cage to begin with even if I decide not to get a second snake, so she doesn't get stressed? Or is she big enough for the whole space already?

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Start with something smaller.

    For an adult female if you are using a cage you are looking at 3x2 for one female and the T10 divided would only make it 2x2.

    You are not talking about sharing a cage right?

    Okay, thank you. I knew I worded it weird lol but I definitely wouldn't try to make them share a cage. I've just seen people say you could keep two snakes in one if you have a divider, but I didn't know if would actually be enough room if one of them is female. Thanks

    I'd go with a 6x2 if you're going to divide the enclosure in half. A 3x2 is a decent sized enclosure for most BPs.

    With the T10 you could do 2 males for females you just don't have that much room.
