    Can I keep a trio

    I have a 20 long tank with just a female in it. I was wondering if I can put another female and male in their with her that are the approximate same size as her?

    I am personally against housing Ball Pythons together in a single enclosure because usually at least 1 of them will try to establish dominance and stress out the others.

    Bp's are solitary snakes and I strongly believe they have a better quality of life housed alone.

    There, I fixed it.
    I do actually think Leos are best by themselves. Sometimes groupings will work but you have to be prepared to split them up if things don't work out.
    I also think a 20 long is the right size for a single Leo, not two or three...more geckos = much bigger tank IMO.
