There is a lot of bad information out there about snakes. Fortunately, there is a lot of good information available too if you can sort through the garbage and look at things analytically.

Ball pythons live in the wild as solitary creatures with no social structure. That is a known fact that no one can dispute. So you have to ask yourself, what benefit is there in housing them together? .... None, other than saving money on additional caging and heating which is a benefit to the keeper not the snakes.

If there's even a remote chance that housing them separately will reduce stress, lessen the chance for possible disease transmission, and eliminate the possibility of one eating the other under some conditions and ZERO benefit to the snakes to keep them together ... wouldn't it make sense to keep them separate? Even if you've been told that it's "OK" to keep them together?

Just some food for thought.
