1) Can I house them together? It's been done but I personally don't suggest it...say if it's for a few days until you get a new enclosure sure but not permenantly.

2) If not, is the 50 large enough for a full grown Ball? I can move my smaller ball into a 29 for now if necessary. I'm not sure of the measurements but i keep in racks the tubs are 33" long x 18" wide x 8" high

3) How long should I try to feed it F/T before giving it live? I figured I'd work on F/T for 4-6 weeks before giving it live but I'm not sure if that's correct. this can be a pain in the but..lol if she doesn't take F/T try fresh killed...kill the rat & toss it in there. if that works give it that a few times then toss in the F/T & hopefully it'll make a smooth transition. If not there's tons of problem feeding threads on this forum alone that will have advice 7 answers

4) Can I remove the scale from the eye? I'll take it to the vet but that will probably be a week or so before I can go. it's no big deal..keep the snake in ideal humidity & after awhile it will either come off on it's own or during the next shed...i had one hold onto the eye cap for like 3 shed & then bam it was just gone..lol if it's driving you nuts try wetting rags with warm water (around 80 degrees) & put the snake in a bag or pillow case with a bunch of these wet rags...then put it bag in it's enclosure in the bag for like an hour or two...hopefully it will be wandering the bag inquisitvely & this will cause the rags to hopefully get alot of the dead skin on her
