Looking to get a 2nd snake...possibly a 3rd questions.

[hotelvoodoo]

So, after falling head over heels with my Normal BP, Juju Kaa I've decided that I'd love to have a 2nd snake. A part of me definitely wants a BP morph...I think the black axanthic ball python is gorgeous...but kinda want a leucistic Rat Snake too. So here are a few questions...

1) What breeders or sellers do u recommend?
2) My BP is in a 20 gallon terrarium...Would It stress her if I moved her to a rack system with the 2 other snakes?

3) do they have enclosures designed for just three snakes?
4) Can a different type of snake be in the rack system with the BP's?

Ok! Congratulations on taking the plunge into the most addictive (also best) hobby ever! So let's get to your questions.
1. I've had great luck with local breeders found through FaunaClassifieds, but some online sellers are just great. Garrick at RoyalConstrictorDesigns in wonderful to work with.
2. She'd probably be even better off with a rack system. BPs are ground dwelling snakes that live most of their life in rat burrows underground. A rack system mimics their natural habitat pretty wonderfully.
3. Sure, but I guarantee that three isn't enough! But, personal recommendation, I love CSerpents racks. I've had others, but his are flawless.
4. Without question. I house my hatchling BPs in the same rack as a hognose snake and a California kingsnake, and my adults share a rack with a carpet python and a red tailed boa. Just be sure that their temperature requirements are very close.

Good luck! Keep us posted on what you wind up deciding on.
