Question???

Hi My Question Is Can Anyone Out There Tell Me A 100% Sure Answer, Can My Two Ball Pythons Share The Same Cage? So Many People Have Told Me Yes And Yet Others Say Only If They Are Close To The Same Size. I Am Pretty Sure I Can, But I Just Want To Make Sure. The Living Space Is A 30 Gallon. Thanks

i wouldn't, because if one happens to get sick (not saying they would) but if one gets sick then the other would also get sick. giving you more vet bills and etc.

Good Point..

The post that creepingdeath posted was just the tip of the iceberg. You also have to worry about dominance issues over popular heating and cooling spots, as well as keeping substantial records on who eats, poops, sheds... etc.

And last but definitely not least, all snakes sexually mature before their bodies are ready to house many babies at all. If your snakes happen to be male and female, respectively, you could wind up with a pregnant female that doesn't have the body for it yet... which results in your female being either severely deformed and handicapped or... well, dead, during or after the pregnancy.

I'm sure another $50-75 tank is a much wiser investment than stressed, sick, or dead snakes.
