hi, i was wondering if any of you could give me abit of advice about my mums royals. she had my royals off me not so long ago, i brought 2 and they were housed together so we have kept them together. this morning she was getting ready for work and they were wrapped around eachother rolling around the tank, when she turned the light on they stopped and moved there seperate ways. there about a year and a half, both eat well and shed well

first of all, this is what can happen when you house two ball pythons together:

what your mom saw is most likely them fighting, BP's are solitary animals, get very stressed when housed together, and two males especially will fight, maybe to the death, and this might also be an outcome. i would suggest housing them seperatly asap. even though they might seem "happy" together, they are actually just tolerant of it, for now at least. and if you absolutly have to house them together, make sure theyre in a large enough, and cluttered enough space, to not feel like the other snake is invading their turf
