Hi!
So I know in advance I am probably going to receive some criticism from this post but I just wanted to share. I own two subadult ball pythons and have been keeping them in the same enclosure. I now know that this is a bad idea- I have read about aggression, mating too early (I have a male and female) and other issues that can arise. Now that I am more educated on the issue I am saving up to get another enclosure, but in the mean time should I put one snake in a temporary tub? I'm sure most of you will say yes but they have been together for a while now and both eat like crazy and seem very healthy. Is it necessarily very bad for the well being of your snakes to house them together if they seem to do really well in the same enclosure? It's a large tank with multiple hides so it seems like they have their space and like I said they have appeared to be very healthy with eachother thus far.
After reading more on the issue I am getting ready to purchase another home and separate the two, but I was curious about everyone's opinions and if it is urgent to seperate them. I care a lot about these guys I just had seen balls houses together before and didn't realize how stressful and dangerous it can be for them until recently.
