    Question Terrarium BP.. and other animals?

    I'm looking for a few more opinions. Do you think it would be bad to have a terriarum with my ball python and a few frogs and salamanders. Will they not like the company, and/or will they eat them. Just thought it would be cool, probably won't be doing it though.

    I think the bp would probably end up eating everything...

    Plus frogs need a very moist environment, and bp's shouldnt have that much humidity

    Yes although your animals are considered "Pets", please remember that your pet is an investment. I do not think it would be wise to house all of them together. You run the risk of losing your investment.

    First off, get your snakes in seperate containers.

    It's a very bad thing to keep two snakes together, unless breeding. Let alone other animals.

    Frogs and salamandars need a water environment. BP's need dry newspaper. Seriously...there may be some species that you can put together in a single terrarium, but BP's are NOT one of them.

    Horrible idea - as is housing your two ball pythons together.

    Re: Terrarium BP.. and other animals?

    I am this close (-) to snapping, I swear there are about 3 posts about this kind of thing every day ("Can I keep all my cats with my bp?" "Is it OK to make my bps enclosure out of sandpaper and gasoline"). Whoops, I think I already snapped. I'm surprised I've lasted this long, it's been building up since about February and it doesn't help that I'm not allowed a bp because I'm "irresponsible". Sorry, I just had to let it out or I was going to explode. Much better *relieved sigh*

    Re: Terrarium BP.. and other animals?

    lol it's understandable. this site is littered with information explicitly telling how bps should be kept alone. i love the quote, "if you can't afford another tub/aquarium, you can't afford another ball". it's understandable that someone wouldn't pick up on it if they just showed up here and heck, before i found this site i'm guilty of maybe mistakes such as listening to the pet store employee and buying a glass aquarium...oh how fun that has been to keep at constant ideal temps and humidity lol.

    Can I just say one thing please? Snakes don't enjoy company, that's what a pet store told me, needless to say I told them what I thought about them. They then replied "Yes they do, just look there, they're all hugging".
