New Ball Python Questions

[Kaorte]

Hey, sorry for the mild hi-jack. Is it alright to keep two males in the same inclosure? Thanks ahead of time.

Not a good idea. Ball pythons prefer to be housed alone.

No. Don't keep any of them in the same enclosure. If you can't afford a second enclosure, then you can't afford a second snake.

Thanks, who said anything about affording anything? Just a question, calm down.

Good to know, Thank you. I got a 3 month old and now the wife wants one lol.

Fairly certain I was calm...? If you already have one, then surely you have read atleast one caresheet somewhere? If it was a good one it should have said something about them being solitary creatures and to not house them together.

I am certainly not acting like the "python police," and don't appreciate the implication. He asked as question, and got an answer. Then, like you came back with a smart aleck remark for absolutely no reason. It's not called for when I was simply giving good advice that is pretty much universally followed by RESPONSIBLE keepers.

"if you cant afford a second enclosure you can't afford a second snake" don't recall the op saying anything about what he can afford just asked a question. If you would have left that comment out I don't think you would have come off as being snippy! Have a great night.

I increased humidity by adding moss and coconut husk substrate dampened and squeezed a bit so it isn't dripping. I still mist but, it has helped the humidity stay stable for much longer periods of time.

Exactly, thank you.

I have done tons of reading, research and watched hours of youtube videos before even buying him. I know your passionate about snakes and now even from owning one for less than a week I can see why, but what I can afford has nothing to do with two snakes living together. Anyways I just thought I'd ask because I see lots of pics with two snakes in one enclosure. I assume now that they would be together for breeding reasons only. I got the answer I was looking for so thanks guys!
