whats wrong with keeping more than one snake in a huge cage two females one male
By free roam you mean just go where ever it pleases?
It can be deadly to leave more than one BP in a cage. They will compete for every thing. They have even cannibalized each other when kept together.

right now im changing it up and adding a new bedding and adding plants and vines so there will be plenty of places to bask in and plenty of places to hide ill put a pic of the cage when i'm done
BP's do not normally climb, and they are clumsy so they can fall and cause injury.
Changing their cage will only stress them further. You should leave them be for about 2 weeks.

QT lets you catch parasites, diseases, or other issues before you have them in the same room.

They are ground dwellers.

Yes, you're gonna put them together, after your 100% your new snake is completely healthy.
100% on the money.

A lot of pet stores are liars... Not all of them but a lot just want the sale and will BS you if they can. Not saying this is the case with this pet store but better safe than sorry.
and not all diseases can be caught with preventative tests, just necropsy and you don't want to do the second test.
