    Re: Difference in size until you can put them together?

    It's not recommended I've read here on the site, and I know snakes are mostly solitary animals, ball pythons are no exception, but it's a huge cage and tons of hides and separate space for all. I've kept my 2 adults together for 2+ years now.

    I know I shouldn't put them together if there's a huge size difference, so I'd just like to get an idea. My 2 adults are a little over 4 feet and my 2 babies are about 1.5 feet long. Here's a picture that shows it a little, what do you guys recommend?:

    UMMMMM.....


    I wouldn't house 4 snakes together ever....

    I would get the idea out of your head now, I don't see anyone on here supporting this idea I know I don't. Why would you want to do this I don't get it? If you know they are solitary animals then why cramp there style and stress them? Any kind of competition can cause issues for the animal(s). Plus there are many options in terms of keeping a lot of snakes in a smaller area. If you have room for an 80 gallon tank then you should have room for a rack as well...

    PS. Read Karote's post verrrry informative and to the point.
