    Re: Can i put 2 male bps in the same tank without problems?

    Males can start combat if housed together. It could happen when you are not home, and lead to serious injuries; not to mention the stress.
    If you have a problem with one snake housed together with another, then you can figure that your other snake has that problem also. Parasites; respiratory infections, the like. I would strongly advise against housing bps together at anytime other than a planned breeding of two healthy snakes that are up to weight and ready.

    Housing any snakes together is not a good idea unless it is for breeding purposes only. As others have said, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Think of the needs of your animal rather than what is more convenient for you. I have ball pythons that live in the same tub BUT those tubs are divided with an opaque board. Dividing a tank is not hard or a long process. Take a bit out of your day and do the right thing for your animals.

    To the OP, I would just ask, why take the risk? Regardless of if some people do, if there is proof that problems can and have occured in numerous instances, is there really a need to tempt fate?

    Save yourself some trouble. Get a couple Sterilite tubs.
