for the rest of it life . since it stressing out with a cage mate. ball pythons don't live together they are sinlge living reptiles and only search out other when t time to mate..

I have a rescue who was kept with anothr bp and the one ate fine the other would only eat at random times. since I have palced it in a cage by itself it ate and calmed right down not roaming around like it lost.

It does spend much of it awake time watching me when I am in the room like now lol..
