need to now about putting two male pythons in same cage is this OK.?

Question

iwill male bermese python get along in the same cage

Answer 1

Very bad idea. The Burmese Python is considered a Docile snake, but you must remember that it is still a "Wild Animal" . They get very large very quickly and with two in the same cage you are doubling your chances of being hurt. I have a 14 foot female and a 19 foot male, they are not nor will they ever be housed together. It is just to dangerous.

Answer 2

No. Co-habitating is never a good idea, and two males will most likely fight each other in the spring. If they are new snakes, they should be quarantined from each other for at least 6 months with pythons and boas to rule out IBD before even being in the same room together to say nothing of the same cage. It's not a good idea.

Answer 3

Pythons by nature are not cannibals. However, there is a strong chance that they will strike each other and inflict injury. They may also crowd each others space which could add additional stress and affect their individual appetites. Furthermore, if one snake has mites, it will most likely pass it on to the other snake. I would keep snakes separate unless you have a very large double or tri level snake cage.

Answer 4

Absolutely not. I know of a guy who put two male reticulated pythons together. Now he only has one. They fought and one received severe injuries, and it had to be put down. I have around 140 snakes, and every one is individually housed. I only put them together for breeding purposes, and can't think of any other reason two snakes should be together, regardless of what sex they are.

Answer 5

Snakes should never be co-habitated. It is not natural, will cause stress, and is a possible risk of cannibalism or injury.
