    Re: housing together

    I am not trying to be mean at all. But maybe you should research and read up on things before you get addicted to snakes. It just might be a wise descion. If you knew anything about them you would know not to house them together unless they are breeding. So many things can go wrong.

    I would suggest just what the others said. Depending on how big they are you can get them a sterlite tub at walmart. They are cheap. Then use paper towels for their bedding. Let us know how big they are and we can tell you the apporiate size tubs.
    Good luck!

    Re: housing together

    Wow I have heard of it but never acutaly seen it... On the original post the tubs is the best way to go anyway... I noticed that my animals were much more active and seemed happier and more active after changing to the tubs vs the clear aquarium.....

    it was a simple question, im not saying i was gonna do it and yes i know alot about snakes.... i have already made the trip to walmart and gotten the tubs and hides and everything all i need to do is get a heat pad tomorrow before the snake comes on wed. but honestly i dont think that you should assume that i know nothing about the animal's that i am keeping. i was raised around animals and have taken care of every type of animal since my birth. so please dont flame me cause i asked a simple question. thats why this site exist....

    You say this, yet you asked about housing a brand new snake with one of your other snakes.

    What about quarantine?

    Your new snake should be in another room, never mind in the same enclosure for at least 30 days. Heres a link to the stickied thread in 'BP Husbandry' http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=74329

    Re: housing together

    Why don't you ask the breeder to hold them until you've got the rack? If you've already paid I don't think they would mind holding them.
