So I have had my ball python Lucy for a couple years now and she is quite big.. well big ish I guess. I've seen bigger.
I aquired another ball about a year and a half ago from a friends friend who was looking to get rid of his, because my sister was interested in getting into the snake game. I took care of him for about 6-8 months before she was ready to take him. He is considerably smaller than my ball Lucy, and recently she has moved into my basement, ball python included
We've had them both out at the same time so they could explore each other and have had no issues.. but recently I have thought about housing them in the same cage and wanted to get some opinions on this. The local pet store I go to has had a pair of ball pythons housed together for awhile and everything seemed to be fine. They are now split off, I dont know if they were for sale or employees pets.
My mine concern is whether or not ball pythons con co-habiiat together peacefully.. these two were housed together for one night while I owned them both, and in the morning both were found in seperate cages with poop covering the other cage. There were only two hideouts in that cage (one hot, one cold side).
The cage I would like to put them in is 90 gallons, there isn't enough room to have 2 separate hot and cold hideouts for each of them so I basically would like to get some input from others who have gone through this and judge whether its a good idea or not.
For the record I *believe* my snake Lucy is a female and my sisters Leo is a male, although I have never had them sexed by someone who knows what they are doing.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
