Question

Can i keep two young burmese pythons in the same cage?

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend it.  Snakes are solitary creatures, meeing up only for winter denning issues (some garter snakes will join in mass groups to hybernate together, and for mating purposes as they reawaken in the spring), or mating issues.

A snake which feels crowded or stressed has little recourse for resolving the dilemma.  Its basic instinct/reaction is simply to EAT the other snake.  This happens more often than a lot of people are willing to believe.

It's also more difficult to monitor the animals for illness, etc., if they aren't kept separately.

Good luck with you new pets, and I hope this has been helpful.

Answer 2

NO, burmese pythons do not get along well with other snakes

Answer 3

well im not a expert but ive seen two pithons on the same cage

id just make sure its big enought

they get  along

theres enough food for both of them and they dont fight over it

Answer 4

NO! dont keep them together this will result in them fiting or killing each other unless u get 2 that are diff. sexes hope i helped.

Answer 5

if they are males or two females than no they have to be opposite sexes or i cant happen males will fight each other and so will females

Answer 6

Yea.  But make sure you grow the cage with their size.  Even tough snakes in general just lay there, you don't want to have them crowded either.

Answer 7

You can, but I wouldn't. They can get aggresive towards eachother.

Answer 8

i wouldnt suggest it

Answer 9

They may attack each other =[

Answer 10

Not a good idea. It may work for a short while, but if you are any good at taking care of them, they will grow so fast that one or the other will soon feel crowded by the other snake. Unfortunately, this can easily start fights. If you take a look at just about any zoo's reptile exhibits, you'll see that they keep animals of this size and type separated.

Probably for good reason.

Answer 11

all herps should be kept separately except when breeding is the goal. and even then only for  short periods of time.(like a supervised hour) big dog stop giving answerer's. your 14 with no experience. your post here says sohttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
