I have done research on co-ihabiting and cannibalization of Bp's and every care sheet and documentation i have looked at or read through says it is possible to keep them together although coihabiting is not always recommended. also everything i have read on cannibalism has been linked to under-feeding or feeding a snake food that is not adaquitly sized or feeding 2 snakes in the same cage.Originally Posted by Egapal
my snakes eat 3 fat good sized rats every week (according to the snakes size), are always seperated in feeder tubs which are alos kept at 75-80 degrees. but still within view of each other at feeding time. i never feed them in the main tub because i do not want them to get aggressive if i reach in to touch them
TO EACH HIS OWN--- not all snake owners are the same and i would not do this with any other ball pythons unless i had real reason to belive the health of my snakes depended on it. I would rather risk these 2 co-inhabiting a very large tub rather than each of them starving which is what they do when seperated. i also have plenty to invest in vet bills should health issues ever arise
None of you own these 2 snakes so you can not possibly know exactly how they act when it comes to being seperated or together... its not pleasant
I AM BY NO MEANS SAYING I AM AN EXPERT BUT I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS AND HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH.... IM NOT A NEGLAGENT PERSON RANDOMLY THROWING THEM TOGETHER.
