first time happening

[steve_r34]

It has happened more often than you might think. A couple years back we had a thread floating around here with some very graphic photos of the aftermath of one BP eating another. I'll see if I can dig it up from the crypt.

Bottom line, Ball Pythons are not communal animals. Period.

Thats crazy .. wheres the thread ??

I've been searching in BP Husbandry for it, but I'm not positive that's where it was. I seem to recall it was from the early 2009 time frame. After that much time, I also can't be sure the pictures are still linked...

Some species can be housed together. Others, not so much.

And people have housed BPs successfully together. But its generally recommended to keep BPs solitary in captivity.

So can it be done? Yes, with effort and certain requirements. Should it? Maybe not.... Too many cons than pros in my opinion.

Just Google ball python cannibalism. The photos are there.
