[Connie420]

Ok here goes i cant do my own blog but i really want answers.I put my new male ball python inside the same tank as my female ball python until we get a tank for it tomorrow and my female started sliding around the tank and wagging her tail while blood came out ���� shes only a baby please dont say its because she ready to breed cant post a pic but there about a little bit bigger than a hatchling...she so small and havent seen her do this before anybody can help?

why on earth would you put them together? you sound like you already know that was a bad idea, and yet...

do you know basic husbandry?? you do not bring an animal home that does not have a place there. that's common sense. on top of that, you should have done your own research on the LIVES you are now responsible for. YOU should have done your homework before taking care of an animal you have no knowledge about. why should WE spend our time teaching you everything you should ALREADY know, and give information that is VERY READILY available???

separate the snakes IMMEDIATELY. you are just asking for trouble. what is the enclosure like??

could someone post the sticky thread caresheet and enclosure guide? i'm on mobile.

you need to be more specific on "blood came out" for any help...

Even if it's temporary I'm going to echo what has already been said and what will continue to be said, NEVER house ball pythons together. You're only stressing them out and risking their health. May I ask why you didn't have a set up available for your male prior to bringing him home? You're taking a HUGE gamble and I can only hope the odds are in your favor until you fix this immediately.

Edit: Darn the pictures for the glass set up are down Anyone know if they can be brought back up?
