Hello!
I have two male ball pythons (not sure what morph) which I have owned since my childhood. One is approximately 12 years old (Viper), and the other is about 10 years old (Khazoo). My father was the primary caregiver for about 6 years, but he passed away 5 years ago. I have been responsible for them since. At the end of next month, I am graduating from college and spending the year abroad. I need to find a new home for my snakes, but I need advice on doing so. These boys mean the world to me, and I want to make sure I find a good, responsible owner.
1. What is the best resource for finding a new owner?
2. I have been housing the males together. Before I get a bunch of heated responses, hear me out. We first got Viper in 2003, and then Khazoo in 2005. Originally, they were housed separately but my dad decided to put them together to save space shortly after we purchased Khazoo. I had no clue ball pythons are supposed to be housed separately, and they have never exhibited aggressive behavior with one another (to my knowledge/from my observations). I recently found out they are typically solitary. Now, should I try to rehome them together, or separately?
3. Should I get them vet check ups before rehoming them?
Any other useful advice would be helpful. This is a really painful process for me, and any guidance would be helpful.
