I see a lot of this too. A couple days ago I saw a guy on one of the facebook groups. 5 ball pythons in one enclosure. He said he can't separate them because if he does they won't eat. Also said they are clutch mates and "love" each other.
I remember that wonderful thread. One hide, a giant tank, 5 balls and a lot of pink sand.
Yes, my friends, pink sand. Half the tank was full of the crap.
