A Question For Those Who House In Pairs

TYESS Aug 03, 2008 02:01 PM

Has anyone that houses their pythons in pairs ever encountered any problems, and if so, what kind? I know this could very well be a touchy subject and I expect messages that tell me what 'could' happen, I'm just going to disregard these posts, I know what could potentially happen, I would like to know what people have actually witnessed. Also, has anyone housed two pythons of different size?

I appreciate any and all help,
TYESS

My female coastal bit and started to constrict my male, she thought it was feeding time, if i wasnt there i would probably no longer have a male, don't house in pairs unless your breeding, they dont live together in the wild so why make them live together at your house.

Plus if ones got a disease they both have the disease, If ones got mites, now they both do, Sharing enclosures bad, sharing Divided cages is the way to house together.
