    Hey guys, i've got a question about housing spotted pythons. can spotted's be housed in pairs'? (2 in one cage?).....i just read that you can do that with children's pythons...so i was wondering if you could do the same with the spotteds...since they're very similar....

    thanks!

    I would say NO. just under principal, spotted python are territorial, and will compete for resources. Hides, water, ect.
    if one is just a bit larger than the other it will dominate the smaller, causing stress and possible harm.
    unless breeding, it not a goo idea to house two snakes together
