but I do support mike and what hes doing. I mean would you be ok with what hes doing if he had a huge room and had the space but said hey i wanna try something. and if he has negative effects he can report them and add to our knowledge, same if he has positive effects or no effects. Isn't this how we learn?

And just from things i've seen. I don't see how ball pythons try to dominate each other. I've had females together simply because heat went out on a rack. and when i opened the cage, they swapped who was on top and who was on bottom all the time. no one seemed to be domiate. they both ate and no problems until i got the heat taken care of.

also another thing I do that goes against everything on this forum is handle snakes after they eat. you guys say a few days... I'll give em half a day. I've never had a regurge and they don't act different or show any signs of being stressed besides moving slower, im pretty sure thats from the extra load, hell i move slower after i eat to.

but like i said most of you won't care what i have to say, ok experts continue debate
#1 Mike is not the first person to have BP's in captivity. There is no need for further experiments about multiple housing, it has all been done before.
#2 You have 3 ball pythons (as per your sig) how can you make an assumption that they will OK living together. I do believe that the snake on top was the dominant one. By you stating that "they swapped" tells me that they were in a struggle for domination.
#3 Good luck letting them rest 1/2 a day after eating before handling. I'm sure that's gonna work out great in the long run.
