Re: keeping males&females together pre breeding
It's a bad idea to keep two BPs together permenantly. You should keep them apart until they are ready to be bred.

Also premature breeding is very hard on the female as well if I remember correctly.

Definitely a NO NO
Here are couple of reasons
They are solitary animals.
2 Ball Pythons housed together can create problems such as stress, going of feed, spreading of diseases, parasites, mites, premature breeding, you are also at risk for serious injuries and sometimes even death.

I am glad to read that you'll house them seperately, good call.
