They both eat fine (in seperate bins), and are very healthy. I notice sometimes that the smaller of the two (they are very close in size) sometimes goes under the larger, I've watched her do it. They don't seem to entangle one another or anything like that. More often than not they stay on opposite sides of the enclosure. They are both handled daily or every other day and neither really seems bothered at all by the other. Is it possible they have just gotten used to one another after years of being together?
them staying on separate sides of the cage shows that they do not like each other. and that they have to compete for who gets the hot side. In the wild Ball Pythons live alone from the time that they hatch from the egg. they really should not be kept in the same cage.
