a whole slew of q's...help!!!

[OhBalls]

thanks for the suggestions. i dont have the space or the money t oset up another tank. i guess my best bet would be to give one of the snakes away.
that makes me sad. but i would rather have one happy snake than two unhappy snakes. so that will be my first tactic. any comments on the pregnant thing anyone?

You're welcome. BP's do very well in rubbermaid or Sterilite tubs. That would be an inexpensixe solution and take up less space.

Wish I could help on the gravid question. I have only bred once and won't again until next season.

you dont have to give one away just separate them, storage totes or sterelite tubs work great and for that size snake should cost less than $12 or so.

the price of the tub isnt the issue. it is the price of setting up another heat and humidity system. even if i did it the cheap way its gonna cost me 50 to 70 dollars to set up another habitat and i just dont have it. plus i really dont have the room in my home for another setup. i would rather make sure they both are extremely happy and safe than to slight them both to be selfish.

Good for you! I applaud you for thinking of your snakes first!

A lot of the time people come here and act selfish and get angry if they dont like what they hear!!!!

You my friend are a breath of fresh air and welcome to the forum. The previous person pretty much hit the nail on the head with the answers. If you are tight on cash I would save a little bit of money each week for vet. Because when, not if, you need to take him or her to the vet it will be costly.

Welcome aboard and post up some pics

I agree with Mike. I know I posted all of those prices and stuff, but I really do applaud you for your choice to find one of them a better home because you might not be able to provide for her. It's great that you're being selfless. -Smiles.-

To answer your question about her being gravid (with eggs) is yes, it is possible for them to go ahead and breed on their own. Which is one of many reasons people recommend they be separated. If she is gravid, and the eggs make it, you'd have a lot more snakes on your hands!

But most likely she's just not eating because she's stressed out about having to share her space with another snake.

It is extremely awesome that you came here to get some answers. It shows that though you may not know everything yet, you are willing to learn and do what is best the animals placed in your care.

You have my respect.
