All,

I have a 75 gallon aquarium that i was using for fish. My wife and I have decided to venture into the Ball Python world. We have spend quite a bit of money setting up the aquarium and were going to house 2 together. What I have read about this this is bad. I do not want to do anything to stress the snakes out but can't afford another tank at this point and the supplies to get it set up. I could put a divider in. I have black plastic i will black out the divider and the sides and back. Any thoughts on this. I know a 75 Gallon tank would be too big for one snake but if I divided it up could it work for 2 with them sharing the UTH in the middle with their own hides, water and heat lamp. I have heard some people say they house theirs together with no problem but then i have hears some people say under no circumstances besides breeding do you house 2 Balls in one tank. With the 75 gallon tank if they have adequate hides water and branches to climb on will that give them enough room to stay out of each others way. Also I read an article about a Ball eating another Ball how common is this? Any help on this is very much appreciated.

Thanks
To all that respond
