The best advice I can give you is to watch them. More than likely...There will not be a problem. But, there could. I once had a ball python go after a kingsnake. Talk about a role reversal. (This was done when I was young and ignorant.) I have also seen a Dumerils boa go after a Hogg boa. So, you just never know. I would never cage the two together. Which I know is not your question. But, to have them out together.............I think that will be fine. Just always keep an eye on them. Never assume they are ok.

It's not really a good idea to house boas and pythons together as they have different environmental needs. Housing multiple snakes even of the same species can be a problem when it comes to feeding time, unless you remove them to seperate feeding containers. If in the event one of the snakes gets sick...say a runny poop for example...which one is sick? My advice...house them seperately if at all possible.
