Suddenly A Homosexual Male Snake??

[Pythonfriend]

when one snake decides to drive another snake out of its territory, the harassment will not stop. in nature they would go seperate ways, but they are in the same enclosure. so instead, they will stress each other out, and that constant high stress level is bad for the health.

i wonder how it worked so well for so many years, thats quite amazing and unusual i think. especially with two males. but when they start fighting you have to seperate them, there is no other way. the dominant snake will not understand that the other snake it is trying to drive away cannot leave, it will think that its not effective enough and will try to ramp up the agression. once such patterns of behavior kick in, if you dont seperate them they might fight and drive each other insane each day every day for a really long time, far beyond the point where in nature, the weaker snake would leave and settle somewhere else.
