| | | added 2nd carpet to enclosure Hey there, i just got a 2nd carpet python, she is a little larger than my current one (not sure of sex on my 1st one) and when they met my first one started panicking and has been trying to escape ever since.
the new one is very placid about it all.
can i expect the smaller one to calm down and deal with having a cage mate or should i look at getting a separate enclosure for the new one?
thanks heaps |

It would be best to get a new Enclosure.
Cheers Andy. |
