Hey an, I'm a little worried. I was at Pet Smart picking up some chicken feed and a Halloween costume and they were having a huge buy one get one free sale on the dwarf hamsters and snakes.
There was two baby ball pythons in a tank together and an adult banana python and ball python in another tank and two corn snakes together.

Is this safe? I thought snakes were prone to cannibalize each other.

No, it's not safe. You don't know when or if one will attack the other and snakes are not social unless it's time for fucking.

I heard some snakes were OK to house together as the risk of killing each other is low. I don't know what species though. I've seen accredited zoos do it but of course that doesn't necessarily mean it's ok.

What can I do to help? I mean, the snakes are on sale, probably because they have too many snakes for the amount of tanks. Should I just buy them all and sell them myself? I have all the materials to house them for a short period of time. A couple plastic bins and all.
Would this be a feasible solution?

Would talking to the manager help at all?

I've seen this too, but only with certain species. I've never seen two pythons being housed together in a zoo as far as I can recall.

babies can be housed together temporarily, but as they grow it is generally recommended they be housed separately.

Though I suppose with a large enough tank full of decorations and hiding spots with a small and docile enough type of snake such as a rough green snake you can probably get away with housing multiple together - mainly because they really only eat bugs and like to hide themselves away.

For the most part snakes get along fine as long as there is plenty to eat.

Absolutely wrong.

>Buy one get one free sale on animals
Am I the only one bothered by this?
Its a recipe for disaster since most people arent planning on buying 2 enclosures.
Its probably ideal for animals that should be kept in pairs though.
