Absolutely NOT. Some people do house snakes of the SAME species together, and even then, there have been instances of one snake killing the other.

Ball Pythons and Boas have very different needs, from different parts of the world.

Not to mention, a larger snake is far more likely to mistake a much smaller snake as prey.

And small/young snakes will get very spooked by being in such a large cage.

Yet another thing - feeding would be a nightmare, you'd have to remove both snakes from the cage and feed them in separate bins, then, after feeding, bathe both snakes to remove all scent of prey before returning them back to the enclosure. If either were still in feeding mode, or could smell prey, the other might get killed and eaten.

There are so many reasons NOT to house different snake species together. Somewhere, there is a photo of one type of snake that ate another, when house together, and then it later threw up the eaten snake.
