housing ball pythons together? housing corn snakes together?

i have seen pics of both corns and ball pythons that ate the cage mate, no it may not happen often with pythons but it does happen and it can, if you feel its worth risking the life of one of your snakes then go right ahead. im not sure what so hard about getting more then one cage but you do what you like.

Personally I wouldn't cohabitate snakes permanently. Corn snakes as babies can also be cannibalistic, so this is one reason not to put these together. Snakes don't benefit from having another in with them. There's many issues, such as problems when feeding, health problems (ie problems spreading between snakes, so you have 2 sick snakes to deal with), competition for the best basking/hiding spots. There's also the issue of if you happened to have different sex snakes, they will mate too young, and the male will continously pester the female to mate. There's a lot of stress involved for them. I suppose the only positive is that you might save a little more room!

Never ever house any type of snake with another one. There are so many things wrong with that. First off they can attempt to breed and die if they are successful. second they will constantly be stressed, competing for heat, for space. snakes like to be alone

I don't know much about ball pythons, but I know someone who has had corn snakes for years. She has kept two in the same tank for years without any issues. She acquired them as juveniles (but not babies), and raised them together with the intention of breeding them as soon as possible (they bred successfully last year). That being said, her case may be the exception, and I would do more extensive research before buying additional snakes.

you can keep sever ball pythons together, but it is always recommended that when you get a new reptile quarantine it for several months (4-6months+)to make sure it is not carrying any diseases that would spread to your other reptiles. Also when you house more than one snake together, it is absolutely mandatory that you DON’T FEED THEM IN THE SAME CAGE. Take them out and feed them in separate cages.

I am not sure about pythons but Cornsnakes can not be housed together.
