Welcome! It is nice to hear that someone is taking in a couple rescues

I do have a few suggestions that could help give George and Sally a more comfortable and happy life.

First of all, it is a general consensus that these snakes are not social animals and receive no benefit from being housed together. Often times, one snake will go off feed while the other will take off and grow quickly, the other slugging behind. Not to mention if one gets sick, they both get sick. If one has internal parasites, you would have to do two fecals and treat both snakes. If they are in fact male and female, breeding at a young age is also something to worry about.

It is in yours and the snakes best interest to separate them.

Also, I would get them some different hides. Ball pythons are super shy snakes and enjoy hiding ALL THE TIME! Hides don't have to be expensive. I use plastic cereal bowls from the dollar store (4 for $1) and cut a hole in the side as an entrance.

Also, I can't see from the picture how you are heating the tank, measuring temps, or controlling your heat source so I will do a quick run down of the cheapest and easiest method. An under tank heater is best with these guys since they are ground dwelling animals. If you use an under tank heater (UTH) you must use it with a reptile thermostat to prevent thermal burns. The reptitemp 500r is an inexpensive unit but hard to find in stores. There are many for sale online. You also want to accurately measure the temperatures in the tank. An Accurite weather station from the home depot, lowes, or walmart, does a great job of taking all the measurements you need. It is only $12 and you only need one per setup.

They are beautiful little ones! and ps, looks like George is going into shed so make sure to keep your humidity around 70% to prevent stuck shed.

Good luck with them!
