    When you understand what you are talking about, then you can attack people's information. Not until then.
    Most of the breeders on this website own hundreds-thousands of snakes, and have more information due to personal experience then you could ever write in a book. You really think they send doctors out of med-school into surgery with no first hand surgical experience? NO.
    (If you ever planned on selling the hatchlings of your animals, I'll make sure to steer clear of you with that idiotic comment. Especially if you are permanently housing any of your animals together.)

    Also, 2 different snakes do not generally cohabit in the wild very well. Species generally stick to their own species, and even then Ball Pythons are very solitary animals. Because they both take up different temperature and humidity requirements (hey, substantial evidence right there!) one would suffer while another thrives. Also, GTPs are very aggressive, even to their own species on occasion so it is not a good idea to house them with ANY other snake, even their own species.

    Also, GTPs and Ball Pythons would never cohabit in the wild, they are from different ecosystems in different parts of the world.

    A cage that large is also pretty harsh on both species. I would imagine that one will either stop eating, or get an RI due to stress because of such a large cage. Not to mention, finding them, keeping humidity requirements all throughout the cage, and a perfect temperature gradient are all nearly impossible.

    P.S. If the ball python is climbing all over it's cage, it is stressed, not happy.
