I tried keeping them separated

Another thing: Why would there be problems with BPs escaping if they love their small enclosure that much? As soon as you give them an oppurtunity, they escape... why? Because they are curious & looking for food elsewhere...

Have you been talking to your snake??

Wait you don't talk to your snakes?

They know that they prefer it by "listening" to their animals. If the animals is feeding better in a smaller enclosure (with all else remaining the same - temps and humidity and snug hides) then they're "telling" you that they prefer a smaller enclosure.

I would be my car that a well done experiment would prove otherwise...

Which comes right back to where the majority of ball pythons are found. In their burrows...

Of course, because hunters look for snakes during the daytime

It's their natural habit, when they're hungry they go out and look for food...

It's interesting that you ask that - I've actually on a couple of occasions realized that I forgot to snap the lids down on my free standing tubs. Found my snakes happy and snug inside their hides (after a full day before discovering my mistake). I guess I must be providing them exactly what they need in their tubs.

You sure do seem to know a lot!

Nothing personal, but the statements that you've made in this thread so far probably stem from nothing more than your own observations or assumptions...you seem to be treating them as fact. Do you have some kind of qualification or professional experience that we aren't aware of?

See post #36.

I mean it's just logic... hunters are experienced in finding places where BPs hide. And it would not make much sense to look for them at night.
