Seriously butters? are you for real?

McKinsey, I've never read anything about communal dens in ball pythons, but for many snakes the 'cuddling' is often competition for resources, which sometimes will lead to the demise of the smaller animal. Communal dens can be found in snakes, but not often, the notable exceptions being some north american snakes that rely on communal dens to overwinter. I agree they've been fine all along and neither have perished so it's not terribly serious (it doesn't sound like the best situation), except for the possibly unwanted mouths to feed assuming the clutch is viable.
