clown6933 Nov 11, 2003 05:28 PM

i was wondering if its possible to house a red tail boa and a green tree python in the same tank. if i was to buy two juviniles and what sex would be the best if it is possible. i have a tank that is like a little rain forest but its rather large and tall they would have lots of space and hiding areas and trees and branches just wondering any help would be great.thanks

Different species housed together will exchange parasites, bacteria's and diseases that they have not evolved to handle or fight off. Besides, different species in close contact with each other will cause stress....DON'T DO IT.

I agree with Benkulu. Different species also having different housing requirements. I reccomend these links to learn about the required care of these animals.
