no <----wrong answer. please see below.

The CORRECT answer is yes. I have two ball pythons and one is fully grown (about 8 years old) and I bought a just hatched baby ball python from a friend. They have been in the same cage for 3 years now.

There are some "issues" that arise from this. The larger python will NOT share its hide hole with the little python. To alleviate this, put two hide-a-ways in the tank. Not only will it give your bigger python "options" but it will help cluster the cage and make both snakes more comfortable in their artificial environment.

After a couple months the larger python should be used to the smaller one, but you will notice that they will tend to stay seperated sometimes. This is caused by the inherent terratorial nature that exists in almost all living creatures.

With that said, it will happen less and less until it comes to a point that when you pick up one, you tend to pick up both of them.

To the person who answered this question, please only answer questions you have researched or have experience with first. You may have caused someone to buy an unnecessary tank. If you don't know, don't answer.
