Little help please...
First off, Hello! I stumbled onto this site researching our two newest additions to the family. My son and I caught 2 garter snakes in the feild behind the house. Anywho, I just got word that a friend is looking to find a home for his ball python. Is there any chance for one big happy family in my 70 gal. tank or is it off to the store for another aquarium???
Figures my first post has to be a question! Thanks, Todd |

Re: Little help please...
I do not know if I understand your question. You want to put a ballpython in the same vivarium as the two garter snakes?
If that is the question, I have to say: do not do this! They live in completely different habitats, continents and climates.

Re: Little help please...
Yeh, I'll put a third on that one. This would NOT work. Basically what it comes down to is that the living conditions for the two different snakes are VERY different...to the point where what's ideal for one would be harmful to the other. Also it's never a good idea to put snakes of differing sizes together....can lead to some very unpleasant outcomes.

hi Tod
nice to meet you ditto the above advice but you know with a 70G you could easily get some more garters of similar size enjoy

Re: Little help please...
You could house many garters in that tank, then buy a smaller one for a BP, since I am pretty sure they don't need that much room.
Also I fifth that statement. Do not try that.
