Very well put.
Every time I have seen multiple BPs housed together, they were always in the same spot of the cage, coiled together. People say the craziest things like "oh, they love each other, they're friends." Don't they realize that a snake has about as much emotion in itself as my left sneaker?The poor things are just competing for the best spot in the cage, really.
At any rate, it has to be unduly stressful to put more than one BP in a cage.
