Spotted Python vs. Ball Python

Cesar Feb 18, 2004 01:45 PM

I have asked this question before, but i should have been more specific. Sorry.

I am about to inherit a Spotted Python from a good friend leaving to Okinawa. My question is the following: I have two Ball Pythons living in a large tank now. Can I put the Spotted Pyhton in with my ball Pythons? I am room restricted, and would like to know if they will they kill each other? I have heard in the past that they could co-exist. I of course plan to quarantine the SP until I get test results back. Thank you kindly in advance.

Please explain how you can make such a statement so confidently. Have you personally observed agonistic behavior between ball pythons and spotted pythons?
