Ball Python and boa?

drasticplastic Jun 11, 2004 11:35 AM

Has anyone heard of a ball and a boa living in the same "cage" without killing each other or possibly breeding? a friend of mine just sent me text from an article he read on the internet and I think it's crap....wish I had that link.

only do that if you want to harbor diseases between the two or stress them out completely. They are 2 different species from 2 different parts of the world, both with very different heat and humididty needs.

Go to any local pet store (ones that sell birds, fish, guinea pigs, etc etc) and you'll see different species of snakes being housed together.....It's bad husbandry practice, but hey....saves caging space.
