On Ball Python Cohabitation

I was simply pointing out that you posted last year with the same sad setup with 5 ball python siblings then posted again with the same setup, but now only 4.
You never said what happened to the 5th? Which I assume is you rehomed it or moved it out.
But it’s the exact same barren and non-stimulating setup as before. And only after yesterday it looks like you added 1 hide? At least when you first posted, it was a more naturalistic setup,

I have co-habbed animals myself. I had a group of 1.4 leopard geckos. They were not kept to ‘industry’ standards. They were kept as usually suggested and as I have mentioned, with multiple hiding areas and multiple heat sources. They were kept in a 75 Gallon size tank vs the 10 gallon size most people used to keep a single leopard gecko in.
I’ve had to cohab different animals while working in a big box store. Every time, more care was taken to decor and stimulation than this last setup.

Every time people have tried to give you useful criticism on the enclosures it always seems to fall back to you feeling picked on or that it’s your own experiment. If anything, you’ve possibly made things worse by abandoning a setup like your first. That would have been more acceptable with the decor and spaces available for the little ones to explore while not having a much larger snake involved.

Honestly, these photos look like they could have been taken a day apart.
