Input on multiple snakes in one tank.

[wilomn]

I keep seeing the same few things mentioned over and over.

It's easier to keep them separately.

If one poops or regurges, you won't know which one it is.

It's easier.

IF you don't keep them separately because it's cheaper to keep them together, you don't deserve to have them and, in fact should not have them at all.

It's easier.

If one gets sick, they all will. Can you afford the bill?

It's easier.

If one gets sick is it not likely that the others housed separately have exactly the same chance of getting sick as the ill snake? If they are kept identically, how can you say only one will get sick? How does one get sick to begin with and why would ONLY one get sick even if they were housed separately? Seems to me there's the same chance of all of them getting sick as just one, whether housed together or not once you've got something in your snakes, it's there for groups as well as singles.

The easy part comes up most often. So what some of you seem to be saying is that if someone else doesn't want to do it the way you think it should be done, whether it is because they can't afford more than one set up or just don't want to make one, which frankly is not only no ones business but who the bloody hell are you folks passing judgement on people for not wanting to spend as much as you? Mighty white of you ain't it?

Maybe it's just me, but when one of my snakes poops, I can tell. If one of mine pukes up a meal, I know which one it is. I actually can tell my snakes apart. Maybe those of you who couldn't tell which of several had pooped or which one had regurged (not even getting into WHY it regurged) maybe the fault lies with you for not being able to tell. I mean if I can do it, and many many of you have called me an idiot, to be kind, and if you can't, again, perhaps the fault is closer to home than you want to look.

One final thing. Going back the the who in the bloody hell do some of you think you are thing; DESERVE? Are you serious? You're going to post, here, in public, that YOU get to decide who DESERVES to have ball pythons and who doesn't?

Let me just LOL right here and now.

Wow, the high horses really came in this afternoon. Good thing I've got an industrial size shovel and some extra time.

This is a mess.
