Can 2 Pythons live in the same cage? I have a Normal BP in a 50 gal long and would like to get him a male roomate. Whats the consensus of another morph BP or Green Tree Python in with him?

Snakes don't need 'roommates'. Ball pythons prefer to be housed alone, being shy and secretive snakes to begin with. A tree python is even more of a bad choice to put in a ball python cage, given they do have completely different husbandry requirements.

In almost every instance with snake species, they do much better on their own, without any other snakes in the enclosure with them, except when breeding. Most breeders only introduce male to females for a short period of time then house them separately again.
