i think that just because it seems ok and everyone is housing multiple, similar sized snakes in a single enclosure doesnt mean that it is right. it means that those keepers either do not know any better or refuse to understand whats best for the animal while thinking only of whats best for themselves.

i dont know how different a ball python's needs become between cultures but i would think that whether the snake is housed in a tub in the U.S or in a tank in Finland, they dont change.

they should change the law to make it legal to feed live and illegal to house multiple snakes in the same enclosure.(except for breeding purposes of course! )
