When I was younger the neighborhood petstore housed a blackrat snake with ball pythons. I came in one day and the rat snake was dead, the owner assumed aggression, however the moral of story was don't house rat snakes with ball pythons and have only one basking site! The ball pythons and rat snakes simply tried to occupy the same warm spot, kind of like sharing a sleeping bag with a sumo wrestler. Most mixes end up with some unfortunate accident. The funniest I have seen was a petstore that thought their baby clawed frogs were small enough to mix with their African dwarf frogs the end result was a tank full of six legged nightmares!
