this is why you need to separated them, yes they look cute when they "cuddle" but they dont love each other this can happen and when it does its going to be too late for both of them, yes its ball pythons but can happen to any kind of snakes,

and the smaller snake ate the bigger one

yeah it's kinda common knowledge you don't put ball pythons together but I see your point...I just don't want them to say stop eating when I separate them. If you could show me a picture of a Retic that ate a Burm or vice versa...then I'd be more apt to believe it...now I've seen two Burms go at it a male and female during "off" season...luckily my friend and I were able to separate them before the male died...he had one and bought another thinking they could live together...I will separate them later tonight though, thanks guys and gals for the input/advice

Nothing happened. Most snakes do not like to be with other snakes. If they where fighting over the hot spot or a good hide one might eat the other to eliminate competition. Also if they where fed and then left alone one could have still been in feed mode and decided the other one looked like a good meal.
