    From what ive heard you could have multiple Bps but would need a very large enclousure for TWO Bps to be able to "avoid" each other. Its not recommended and single housed snakes seem to do fine without any roommates so I would stay stick to just 1 snake per enclousure.

    Before everyone jumps on your case, no. Lol unless you're breeding (and then only for a short period of time) or if you have a really big tank with a solid(and I mean SOLID) divider. Buy two tubs from walmart, they'll run you about $12 total. There's tons of tutorials on getting them set up here. Shows over, folks!

    While it is possible it is not recommended.

    Search the forum. This has been argued many times.

    Here is a kinda recent one.

    Yea, I would honestly not do it, just because they can irritate each other, but I know some people have done it in the past and if not mistaken the July or August issue of Reptiles Magazine a girl wrote that she's always housed two BP's together and so on, I won't get into the story but me personally I wouldn't do it, unless I was trying to breed them and it's only so they can pair up and then it's back to being solo.

    I won't say go search like other people because I remember when I was new on some other forums and I'd ask a question and everybody was like: learn to search, use your search function, blah blah... I always took offense to it because most of the time it can be a simple yes or no and in this case it is. Then if you want to know why it would be okay for somebody to say go search.

    BTW, I didn't mean anything to the people above that said to search, I was just letting you know how it may feel to other people, and then we potentially lose a member who could of done great things or contributed in many ways. Just I try not to make somebody feel stupid for asking a question.
