Pythons living together

slackajack Nov 04, 2004 11:53 PM

I want a breeding pair of spotted pythons so I'm gunna get one more, but I don't want to get another cage. I was wondering what the problems with pythons sharing a cage if I feed them out of their cage, and I make sure that their both healthy before I introduce them to one another.

What are some more problems and how big would the cage have to be for them to share.

Thanks in advanced, Jack

I keep two trios of spotted pythons together (in two seperate cages) with no proglems. I seperate them to feed them. Many people keep them this way.

How big does the cage have to be, and do they need separate hide boxes?

I kept my pair together until, one day, there was nearly a case of accidental cannibalism. Despite the fact that I followed all the feeding rules I still had a mishap. I always seperated them during their feedings and for a long period of time afterward, but they were always still aggressive after they ate. Now I keep them seperated 100% of the time in different boxes just to be on the safe side.
