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.

Can a ball python eat vegetables?
A ball python is usually 2-4 feet long with some exceptions that get 5-6 feet. I am sure there as been an occasion or two where a ball python as eaten another ball python but I have not ever heard of it (I am a breeder). King snakes on the other hand will eat any other snakes (even ones bigger then themselves). However except for breeding purposes, Ball Pythons should not be housed in the same cage they are loners and can become stressed and stop eating when housed together. They're possibly the 4th easiest snake to look after, followed by the corn snake, the king snake and the the milk snake.

It depends. A normal python usually costs around 50-100 dollars, and a large cage around 90. If you get your ball a large cage (40gal) at the beginning, he won't need another. Food and bedding are not expensive, around $10 a month at the most.
Can a baby ball python be in the same cage as a grown ball python?
"ball pythons in general should not be housed together. ..unless breeding. one will dominate the other and one will suffer " Ball Pythons, as with most other snakes.. should not be housed together at all. Even a mother should be separated from her babies as soon as you can. Snakes are very dominant and will fight for food if there is competition, which is what having two snakes in the same tank would create. If you are planning to breed your snakes, They are not mature enough to begin breeding until about 3 years of age and they should be slowly introduced to each other to avoid fighting.

Is a 20 gallon tank big enough for an adult ball python?
I agree that a 20 gallon tank isn't big enough and they won't be very comportable in it but ball pythons don't get longer than 20 feet,the longest a female would get to would be 5 - 6 feet and a male would get to about 4 - 5 feet but that's rare! You could use a 30 gallon tank but the best would be a 40 gallon tank for a fully grown ball python!!
