I've been reading a lot of posts and seeing pictures of snakes in the same enclosures. It makes me wonder. It is known that bps are not social creatures, and would generally just prefer to be completely left alone. However, they are also not territorial and don't fight with other ball pythons. They even share very close knit quarters with other snakes with no hostility whatsoever.

What is it about the nature of snakes in regard to this? Even on shows like fear factor, when they have snakes on, they'll have hundreds of snakes just crawling all over each other like it isn't a thing at all...?
