ball python with green tree python?

[xdeus]

I love it - everyone is an expert- and no one has offered up anything substantiated by any evidence - all personal accounts.
Lord knows 2 different snakes never live in the wild together!
LOL

You're absolutely correct. I have never housed a BP and GTP together, although I do have both species and kept them for years. I've also never stuck a knife in an electric outlet, but I'm probably going to continue advising people not to do that if asked.

The snakes may get along swimmingly, but I'm not about to perform experiments to determine if my BP will get repeated bites from my chondro or get scale rot from the extreme humidity.

You're also right about many different snakes living together in nature, although usually they have to be on the same continent and probably experience the same climate. The region that Ball Pythons originate receive about 14 inches of rain a year whereas the chondro's home (Papua New Guinea) receives about 50 inches. Maybe I'm naive, but I think it would be a little difficult to replicate those different conditions in a relatively small cage.
