    If you need to temporarily house another snake, go to walmart and buy a tub for a few bucks.

    Re: 2 snakes in the same enclosure

    if it is only for 2 weeks then id say it is fine although very careless. just be prepeared for them to go off feed.

    edit:it says in your signature that your bps are unsexed. if they are a 1.1 pair than a female bp could become eggbound at an improper weight and die.
