    Not very much..
    You could probably sell them for 25 dollars a piece maybe.

    People won't like that you kept them together though.. to many quarantine risks.

    That doesn't make it a good idea.

    I suggest you look for a reptile rescue in your local area. I have a feeling it might be best for the snakes, and you aren't going to get much for them anyway.

    *big sigh*

    Please tell us a little about your tank and set up. A picture would be great.

    Re: 2 balls

    you know what i have another tank and I will just seperate them. The whole reason I was on here was either to find someone to buy them from me or learnmore about taking care of them. I never saw anything that said they couldn't live together, and I researched it a great deal before I brought them home. I rescued them from someone who wasn't even providing them with the bare essentials other then a tank and some water now and again, so if you don't mind I will just have to read up on it more, and get my other tank set up so that they can be seperated. They feed seperately. I am not stupid, they have proper lighting, and soon I need to get a bigger tanks for them, but for the time being they are in way better hands then they were. so............... whatever

    Re: 2 balls

    3. Can I house two BP’s together?

    It is possible to do so, yes. But it is NOT a recommended practice. Snakes are not social creatures and it is stressful for them to live together. What may appear to be 'cuddling' is in fact the snakes competing for the best parts of the cage. Aside from the stress factor, snakes living in the same enclosure are free to share parasites and diseases with each other. This also makes it more difficult to figure out which one is sick if you notice abnormal stool, for instance.

    if you want to ship the snakes your gonna have to be fedex certified which will cost way more than the snakes will bring in anyway so just find a friend that will take them in. or find somebody local that knows what there doing. better?
    p.s. you will be lucky to get 50 bucks for them.

    Calm down.
    Even if you did do research, it was all pretty incorrect.. Ball pythons don't need any lighting, and never need to be in anything larger than a 20 gallon tank. They need UTH's with proper thermometer's and humidity regulations.
    Substrate should be aspen, cypress, bark, or paper. Sand, cedar, and pine are all nasty..
    Keeping two snakes together is one of the worst problems in the book. Unfortunately it can lead to many problems that can be avoided with simple separation. I could list all of the reasons if you like.

    Also, feeding in the enclosure they live in is a good idea as well.

    Re: 2 balls

    i would never ship them..... that i would think would be more "stressful" then the two of them living together!!! And that said that it is possible for them to live together, just not recommended........ and they have lived together for at least 6 years!!! they didn't have any heat at all until i got them, now they are more active......... and they do eat in their tank..... i said I seperate them i never said i put them into different housing for eating....... and no I don't need you to list anything.... i know some about snakes these are just my first BP's.......
