2 carpets in cage ...pro and cons

nightvip Jul 13, 2003 12:46 AM

Anyone house 2 carpets together? If you do are they sexed? Same size?

Are there negatives to this and if it is possible what should I be cautious of?

probably not a good idea... Pythons are solitary animals, if they are of breeding age you could have trouble when breeding season comes around. Also, you can run into quite a bit of feeding troubles, etc. I've kept some together before, and had one that wouldn't eat, but after separation for a couple of days, she wouldn't quit eating!
Good luck
