Hi all, just thought I would share this weird bit of info with you and hear your opinions. So Ive got my Ball Python that I bought last month, now my wife wanted one for her birthday as well, so I went on Friday to buy hers, but I wasn't finished with the cage yet so I put hers in with mine until I finished the cage on Saturday. Everything was fine, the two didn't look like they were bothered with the other being there, so we went out for the night and when we came back, we took both snakes out from where they were lying together, then I noticed that the new one was flat in the centre, but it was moving around and appeared normal, except for the flat part. We took it back to where we bought it from and the guy told us that the ribs are broken and it looks like it was stepped on or something, but both snakes were safe and sound in the cage and there is nothing in the cage that could have fallen on top of it, so that leaves the only "logical" explanation, that mine actually constricted the other one, which is very weird, but there is no other way that it could have been hurt like that in the cage, so that must bee what happened. I left it at the shop, to see if it would eat on Sunday,which it did, but I also bought another one as it is a my wife's birthday present. Ive taken it back home and it seems fine, so we will just have to wait and see how it will be when it gets bigger, so now we have three Balls and hopefully it will grow up to be a perfect snake.
