I know it is unquarantined as any decent QT procedures last longer than your male has been alive.

They do not make any noises as a result of breeding.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts your interpreting territorial competition and stress as " getting along famously"

And, since you ignored the "one animal one enclosure" recommendations, if it is an RI then you will probably have to take both to the vets.

I didnt choose to ignore anything. Go into nature and lift up a rock, see how many snakes you find. Ive been a snake owner/breeder for a long time, and although you may just be voicing concern, I do not think you are as educated as you believe you may be. I have taken both of my snakes to the vet, and both are healthier than ever. I have talked to all of the breeders I know, and none of them have ever had a problem housing 2 ball pythons in the same enviroment. Although the sound she is making is new to me, breeders i have conversed with have informed me it is a normal sound for ball pythons, especially females to make pre, as well as post shedding.
Thanks for the concern, but next time, no thanks.
