"I may not have all the answers about BPs but I have done some extensive research as of late about them and I have read numerous times that wild specimens have been found with numerous snakes in the same burrows. I reallize that they are solitary animals for the most part but they do house together in nature!
I am a new person in this forum and I accept that I will be treated as a new person for some time.......please be careful that you aren't too quick to judge new people as they aren't always ignorant to what they're doing.
I wish to extend my apologies to the original poster in this thread for being caught up in jacking this thread and that it's gotten off topic about me. I'm sorry..... "

"Extensive research" That makes me laugh out loud.
If you are keeping more than one ball python in an enclosure without the intent to breed them, then you Sir, have a LOT to learn.
As long as your husbandry is sub-par (like yours glaringly is) members here will continue to offer you advice, even though "you didn't ask for it". (what an arrogant comment by the way)...
I personally don't care for your feelings much, I'm far more concerned about you having "rescued" (this term is being used VERY loosely at this point) and providing husbandry that may be worse than where they came from prior.
I understand you read a lot ("extensively" to quote you), but I'll touch on some of your husbandry issues that I can see right off the bat:
1. 76 cool end is too cold.
2. 85 warm end is too cold.
3. Don't house multiple ball pythons together.
4. Your temperature/hygrometer guage is not only cheap and useless, but it's location in your (too large) enclosure is incorrect.
5. As Julian already pointed out, the height of your enclosure will make it very difficult to maintain proper temps (as is already obvious).
6. The grating you attached to the air vents will injure your animals.
7. Most saddening though is that your attitude when hearing constructive criticism SUCKS it hardcore. Only your snakes will suffer with such a snot-rag attitude.
Let's be clear, when someone like Julian offers you advice, you LISTEN. Julian has probably forgotten more about ball pythons in the last week than you know from all your "extensive research" so shut your mouth, open your ears and when people are trying to help you you nod and say thank you.
