So I have an interesting situation that I would like some advice on.
Earlier today I picked up 2 new ball pythons that were given to me in containers. There is air holes and bedding in these containers. Here is where things get tricky.
I was supposed to receive my new rack today, HOWEVER, it has been delayed and will now only arrive tomorrow.
So for one single night I have to make sure these new little guys are happy- and I have a plan, but I need to know if it's a good idea or not.
Background: I don't have a temperature controlled room, I use individual heating units per terrarium/rack. I have a juvenile Ball Python in a very nice glass terrarium, she is my only Ball Python with a terrarium. It is 100% possible to fit the delivery containers inside the terrarium so they will be kept at the correct humidity and temperature throughout the night. They do not need to be quarantined as I have know both breeders for years.
Is it a good idea to put the containers inside the terrarium with my other ball python? At no point will either of the 3 snakes have direct contact, but I was wondering if this could stress all 3 of them out and do more harm than good or if it's better to do this rather than let them get cold tonight.
Thank you in advance! I would never normally pick up new snakes without the space to provide them with, but the delay was extremely unexpected and now I just want what is best for the animals.
