^ If tanks are too pricey for you or too much of a hassle to get, I would look into tubs. IMO much better for them (in regards to maintaining proper temps and humidity). Here's an awesome thread on tubs: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ubs-for-snakes

A breeder told your ex to house them together? Hmmmm...I don't know of any experienced breeders that want buyers to house snakes together unless it's for breeding purposes (if anyone knows of anyone please inform me!). I would definatly separate them if anything.

Also, if they were trying to lock some males will try to lock with another male. So you may or may not have a male and a female. I would get them sexed by someone experienced if you have the means to do so.

Good luck!
