Have a friend thinking about getting one but I want to make sure for her that it sufficent for two adults (fairly small Balls).

Thanks

I'm looking more depth wise... what do you think?

no, not nearly big enough, something about the size of.......say africa would be nice though.

It is NEVER (unless breeding, but they don't live together) ok to house 2 snakes together. if your friend can't buy 2 seperate cages (it's easy, go get a rubbermaid and drill some holes) then he/she shouldn't own 2 snakes.

Don't mean to sound harsh, but snakes are solitary animals and the only reason (besides breeding) to house to snakes together is purely for the pleasure of the owner of the snakes.

the only reason snakes "Curl up together" is because that is the ONE spot where the temperature is at it's best for the snakes.

2 snakes, one cage
2 vet vists (they are EXPENSIVE)
you can't tell who has the runny poo so again, 2 vet vists
they get stressed (again they are SOLITARY animal)
they get sick
one gets sick, they both get sick
you can't tell WHO is sick
can't tell who pooped,
can't tell who pee'd
can fight (maybe to the death because they are confined to a small area)
slight (like 2%) chance of cannablisim if stressed again.
and stress leads to not eating
not eating because of stress leads to sickness
and sickness leads to death or a HUGE vet bill.

If you can't keep two BP's in the same cage together W/O problems, your retarded!!!!
