Have had three BP's living together
So is it safe to house BP's together, I've had the same three snakes together for 2 years since they were baby's 1 female at 1100 grams and 2 males at 500 grams two are the same age but one of the males is 6 months older then my female but not up to weight like she is. Are they stressed cause i wouldn't think they are both males are now producing sperm plugs

Re: Have had three BP's living together
well they may stress out and you'll have the possibility of male domination and fighting over the right to breed. i only house bp's together for breeding only.

They need to be housed seperately.

why is that cause right now i have two 200 gram females together and i love it cause every week they eat there dominating each other to be the biggiest, cause i had problems with my female albino to eat every week but since putting another female with her which was slightly bigger she has eatn every week since and is now bigger! So is it really that bad!

As I stated before they each need to be in their own enclosures, the only time you would put two of them together, is for breeding purposes only.

Re: Have had three BP's living together
Yes they are likely going to be (or are) stressed, and yes they should be housed separately.
Can you house them together, that's entirely your choice but you asked for opinions, and I daresay, that the opinion of most of the membership here will be to advise you to house them individually.
Domination means there's a winner and a loser. The loser will be stressed. Stressed leads to a weakened immune system, which leads to illness, which leads to both being sick because they are sharing everything (hides, water dishes, etc) which leads to double the vet bill, etc - which can all be avoided by housing them individually. Is it REALLY worth it? And do you really in the end, care what advice you're being given and take it?
