2 snakes, one tank?

[Coopers Constrictors]

You can keep ball pythons together, but it's not recommended for inexperienced keepers.

One word: NO.

OP: Never keep more than 1 ball python in the same enclosure. You will create an environment that is NOT suitable, healthy, or EVER recommended for ball pythons... whatsoever... for any reason... ever... just NO. Breeding them is a completely different story, but an environment with 2 ball pythons, permanently, should never be recommended.

Ah... where is Skiploader and Wilomn when we need them.

Saying a firm No is absolutely not right.
Can cohabitation be done successfully? Yes. Is it recommended? No.
You *can* cohabit snakes, but since you're asking, then you probably shouldn't.


OP. Read through these and come up with your own educated decision. Skip and Wilomn's posts specifically.

You CAN keep two snakes together. It's not impossible but should only be done by experienced keepers.

IMO though, there's not enough pros to outweigh the possibilities of what could go wrong.
