Input on multiple snakes in one tank.

[waltah!]

Just meant that it's a very nice looking snake...as in "smokin!"

Cuddling is actually them competing for dominance. Usually this causes the dominated snake to go off feed. I am actually rather surprised that all of your snakes are eating but that still doesn't make it okay to house them together in my eyes.

I've heard that from different breeders.

Keeping secrets from your fellow keepers in just not nice.

I'm going by what i've read on several websites, that's it. I didn't start this thread to discuss snakes cuddling. Start your own thread.

In that case I like the bottum left

He's a smoker.

Hey guys, For what it is worth. (not much I know) since I'm "NEW" But I have been doing a study on this for the past 3 years for my own benifit. I have been housing 2 trio's of ball pythons together. A 2.1 of normals and an 1.2 of normals. I have only seperated them while feeding and when the 2.1 went in to breeding mode.(more to come on that). What I have seen is They do cuddle alot! They get along fine together it's like they dont even know one another is there. With the 1.2 I have seen them breed and both females produced for me. I seperated the females after they laid so they could feed a few times in there own bin and put them all together again. The male would be fine and act like they were not even there until the females went into breeding mode again the next season. As far as the 2.1, Well they where fine until the female was receptive. Then it was a war zone so to speak. Yes, I let the males combat (how else would I know the facts right?) well combating was more or less like 2 8 year old boys pushing and shoving. So I watched them very close and decided to remove the male I thought was the weker of the 2. after the female laid and fed a few times I put them all back together and they where just fine. Yep, Until she became receptive again..

Anyway, Thanks for listening and just remeber. Each snake is different what happens to mine may not be what happens to any of yours..
