ball pythons in love?

tigerlilie2 Jul 06, 2004 12:08 PM

I was just wondering if anyone else houses two or more ball pythons together. I do. Same sex ofcourse. And yes, are always fed seperately.And enclosure is huge... But anyway.....wherever one goes the other is on its tail following (literally). I'm really not saying they are "in Love" LoL, but it seems they don't like to be alone or seperated. And I was wondering if anyone else runs into this little detail when balls are housed together.

This is one of my females Kamaria (100% Het), she is housed with my super yellow normal, Kanoni, looks just like a jungle pastel (sorry dont have a pic of her yet).

I think that it is a good possibility. I have a pair of hoggies that do that. They were bought as a pair when they were babies, and a friend a nd i split them up. The female really wouldnt eat for about a year, when i decided to buy her back. Odd took one look at her and his little hoggie eyes just about fell out of his head. Pricilla is now a plump little girl, eating more than he does now....scientifically speaking, people say that snakes have no 'real' emotion. I beg to differ. Those people have never kept snakes before.

I house 4 ball pythons together and they do the exact same thing. I have a hatchling that follows my 9 month old female around and a "couple" a male and a female who follow each around the tank
