"Ball Pythons are quite social animals, and several large or small specimens (though not mixed in size) can
share a sufficiently large cage. They seldom fight, but it is still better to feed each separately to avoid accidents. Most breeders
keep their males and females separately most of the year"

Like I said dont know his qualifications, but he has written a
Poop load of books (58) on reptile care.

This is just my $.02 and yes I do have 2 juvenile female BP's
housed together for now, and they have been fine.
i actually have that book and have found a few wrong 'facts' in it. think of it this way, if he's written 58 other books on reptile care... how can he be an expert on all 59 herps? he's got that much experience with each of these creatures? when i read it, i got the impression that all the info was coming from research- not experience.

like i said before, i noticed a huge difference in both my bp's manners and health immediately after separating them. and that's all i'm going to say on the subject....
