so what does everyone think??? Also I have a ball python coming toi live with her soon a baby bal;l python does anyone else do this as long as they are fed seperately?

thanks alot

I wouldn't take her cool hide away just to be able to see her better. If she uses it then she must like it if not then it may be alright. Unless you just fed her I'm assuming she uses her cold hide pretty much exclusively. Feeding time may cause a real big problem for that(besides the fact that you are going to put to different snakes together despite the 3 responses yesterday not to) so should I type anymore? One of your snakes isn't going to make it and I bet it's not the 5 ft. one either since the other is a baby. Part of buying a pet is being able to provide at least some adequate housing, a SAFE environment, and enough hides for the snake(s). Go buy a $20 tub and a home heating pad or buy a vivarium for the ball at least or beware.

You already asked about housing a ball python with a boa.

DO NOT DO THIS. You'll wind up with a dead snake, and if the ball python survives, it will be stressed out being in such a large cage. People already replied to that below.

By all means, go ahead and house them together if you want to ignore everyone's advice, but don't come here and complain when one snake attacks the other or if one dies from stress.
