Restless snake

[Lady_Rivka]

Hey,
I got two baby ball pythons about a month ago(a boy and a girl) and they've been growing rapidly. I've kept them in the same cage with plenty of hides on both the warm and cold sides of the cage and they've been fine. But, in the past week or so, the girl has started becoming restless at night: trying to get out of the cage. Should I consider putting them in two seperate cages or is this normal?

they are naturaly active at night so wouldn't worry about that.
Personally i keep mine seperate just so i can keep an eye on any abnormal fecee's etc..

Snakes or any reptiles are not community animals. They should be seperated as soon as you can. She may be active because they are nocturnal, but they need to be seperate. Hope I helped

Hmmm, I'll get them separated. Thanks for the help!

I have 4 balls and never see them unless I turn the light on in the middle of the night. Make sure the enclusures are secure, she is probably looking for an escape route, I've had 2 get out luckily I found both.
