Views on keeping more than one bp in an enclosure

[wilomn]

Cannibalism is not unheard of.

True. I think there are 2, count them, one and two, not three, not four, not more than 2, but 2. That I know of.

And let's talk about this crap about breeding too soon.

How many 4 egg clutches do we see pics of all the time?

We ALL know that a decent sized female, not even a huge one, can lay 7 or 8.

So, if so many are breeding when their girls can only produce half of what they will, wait for it, here it comes, WHEN THEY'RE FULLY MATURE, what is the big deal about keeping them with others? If a girl's gonna go, she's gonna go.

If she's not ready, she won't. I do not know of a single instance of a ball python dying from being accidentally bred while too young. How could she? If she's old enough to produce viable eggs, she's old enough to breed. If she's big enough to produce viable eggs, she's big enough to breed.

You people and your arbitrary use of facts to support your points of view make me laugh.

Show me some hard facts. Show me some studies that involve more than two animals. Show me anything that backs this up.

If they're healthy, if you're observant, if you're dedicated, you will have no problems keeping more than one snake in the same enclosure.

It is not recommended for the newbs, but it can be and certainly is done successfully all the time.
