Ball Python breeders housing together

[blackcrystal22]

What if they are very healthy. They have been housed together now for a month. is there any other reason why i shouldnt?

Quite a few reasons actually.

• As LadyOhh said, competition is a problem. If for some reason they were mis-sexed and were both males, they would fight.
• If you see them laying on each other, they are competing for space, and creating dominance. Which is extremely stressful.
• Ball pythons are naturally unsocial animals, and will be stressed with other snakes around.
• Even if you are planning to breed them in the future, they could breed much too early, which could cause huge problems in the female and egg bounding.
• If one gets an RI (my boa might have an RI, just because of the season change) then the other one gets it. If one gets parasites, it's a double vet bill that could have been avoided.
• Cannibalism is not unheard of.
• Feeding becomes difficult, as feeding inside the enclosure is recommended and with two snakes, that's nearly impossible.
