A couple of questions

[bluguitar88]

Hello this is my second post. My first one was about my sick ball and I'm happy to report that he is doing 100% better. I still have to force feed him but its getting a lot easier.
I have a couple of questions about enclosures for my Ball Pythons
1) I'm in the process of building a 5'x4'x3' enclosures for my Redtail and I was thinking about building a single enclosure for my two Ball Pythons. I plan on making it 4'Lx3'hx3'd would that be big enough for the two snakes? FYI Rossco the one that was sick got a clean bill of health from the vet, he just needs to gain his weight back.
2) Can I put the two of them together? And what kind of decore should I put in the enclosure to make it look natural for them?
Thats about it, both snakes are about 3' long and are really docile. Thank you for your help.

no you cant house them together. you can take the enclosure you were thinking of using for both a put a divider in it and that would be sufficient space for both even when they are fully grown

You can house them together, but I personally wouldn't. If one of them gets sick, then they could both get sick which means double the vet bill. Plus, ball pythons don't need companions and they can get stressed out having a housemate around which could lead to inconsistent eating.

It's never a good idea to house two snakes together unless you REALLY know the snakes well and are VERY experienced in caring for them.

BPs need very little space, even as adults. Floor space is always more important than height, and a good enclosure should be about 12" high, and no taller than 18".
Even the largest adult females can be comfy and happy in a home about 36"Lx24"Wx12"H.

But, by all means, show some pictures of the Redtail enclosure!

Hey thanks for the info. I'll have to rethink the plans for my two Pythons. And as soon as I'm finish with the Redtail's enclosure I'll post some photos. And thanks again.
