Ball and Blood

Would there be any significant problems in housing a Blood Python with a Ball Python? I also posted this in the Ball Python forum for maximum response. Thanks.

Wouldn't it depend on the size differential between the two specific animals and the gender (since balls and bloods can apparently mate)? I've never housed two different snake species together myself. It seems kinda risky.

I have kept both species for a long time now and in my personal opinion I wouldn't do it unless I was attempting to breed a cross.( which I don't recomend but that is a personal thing) I would worry about the ball going off feed because they are so non aggressive and stress easy. I keep all my snakes seperate unless breeding .

If they are opposite sexes they could mate and you could have some awesome "Super-Balls"
