    Re: Bp housing

    Ball pythons are NOT social animals and do not roam in packs. They prefer to be alone, burrowed under something, and balled up. The right thing to do is get each ball python their own enclosure, heat source, thermostat, thermometer, hides, water dishes, etc. KMG is correct...dig a little deeper and do some research.

    You can do it, but it's not going to save you time or money and is generally not recommended for new keepers.
