    just a question.

    Hi, I recently purchased 2 baby het albino bp for breeding. My question is can they cohabitate together and still breed when they come to sexual maturity?

    While some people do report success keeping multiple ball pythons together, it's best for the snakes to be kept seperately, and introduced only to breed.

    It would be in their best interest to keep them separated until they are at a good weight and then put them back together. You will be more likely to get healthy eggs and perhaps a larger clutch if you wait until the female is a couple years old.

    Too many issues if you keep them together. You can get away with it for a short time, but I would seperate them asap.

    Good Luck!
