i need to know if it is safe to house a 3 ft ball python with a 5 ft carpet python

the husbandry of those two are not at all close to being the same , aswell as the potential of cannibalisim in one or the other . save yourself alot of hassle and house them seperatly they will both benefit from having their own habitats to live in .

My JCP's are quite hyper. Quite defensive of territory.
They wont hesistate to strike at anything they feel a need to.
These are JCPs that are handled daily! And from what I'm told by others,my JCP's have a better disposition than most.
I've no doubt in my mind, if housed with another snake...ball python or other wise, they would kill it.
Unless of course the other snake is larger, and superior in strength.
I hve seen BPs housed with redtails of the smae size,with other balls, but I've only seen young, very young JCP's housed together.
It's probably cheaper to buy separate housing for each, than to buy new snakes.
