Can ball pythons be housed together?

I don't understand why you're sitting here and trying to justify things still. You've been given so many reasons and you're still here fighting it, if you want to do it then do it, why sit here and argue when you'll likely do it anyway, what are you gaining from this? It's not like anyone here saying it's not a good idea is suddenly going to change their minds and be like "you know what he's right, forget all the studies that have been done on BP behavior, I'm a hoomin and I'm gonna do what I want because that's what's best for me." Just move on dude.

You know I had a long response explaining things that you have missed but in the middle of it I simply lost interest. You are rude and sarcastic with most things you say to me so I will simply place you on ignore. So this "dude" is moving on from you. Adios.

It was a genuine question, but so be it.

Don't act like you really wanted to discuss it. Your sarcastic and disrespectful ending showed my everything I needed to know. You are now on ignore.

With the little information shared about that situation I don't think any conclusions can be made. Kinda like the media giving half the story.

Were they in a small tank with one hide? Or something more like the OP and I said may work which is a large enclosure with many different spots for the snakes to stay apart? Do you know any more?

I do not, the post was mostly about looking for a vet asap. Is there a certain size cage or amount of hides that would prevent this? And if the goal is to allow the snakes plenty of space away from each other to avoid such an injury or issue, wouldn't it simply be best to house them apart?

You said that last time. I just don't see the benefits in co habbing. Is this about co habbing or it is about being a "sheep"? Like to me it seems like it's more than just following whats said.

In theory a large enough enclosure and a surplus of food would prevent this. I don't think you see them together in burrows (most of the time). To house two snakes you're going to need 10x the enclosure space which is why it's not recommended except for experienced keepers trying an experiment.

Based on previous posted made by op (not the other guy here) he doesn't really seem like he has the experience so I'm quite worried about the outcome of this all.

Let me say this loud and clear. MY SNAKES ALL LIVE SOLO IN THEIR OWN ENCLOSURE. I HAVE NEVER CO-HABBED AND HAVE NO PLANS TO EVER DO SO.

As to "is there is a certain size cage and amount of hides that would prevent this?" That is exactly what I was trying to explore when this all kicked off. That obviously didn't happen and people jumped on what I was saying without understanding it or caring enough to even try.
