New ball python

[MysticalDragon]

Hello! I need some help please.... I was recently given a 5 year old Ball Python who seems to have been neglegted,because she isn't the right size for her age. I have another Ball Python that is about 2 years old, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to house them together. My husband says no just becasue they are both females (I'm not so sure about this new one). I wanted to get better advice on this. I don't want either of them to get hurt or anything, because my husband plans to breed them once they are ready. Eventhough is doesn't know anything about the breeding of snakes at all. He is one of those people who thinks they know everything,but really know nothing at all...lol.


Thanks,

Dena

If you plan on breeding them, house them separately.

If you don't plan on breeding them, house them separately.

So, house them separately.

Here's an article I wrote that will give you some reasons why it's best to give each snake its own enclosure.
