I'm assuming you haven't researched the husbandry of one or both of the animals so I'll point out here that they have drastically different care requirements (one requires moderate to high levels of humidity and the other requires extremely low levels) and that alone effectively nullifies the idea to house them together.
thank you, i did some research after i posted this and found out that it isnt possible because of the same reasons you said.
Excellent! I am glad that your research has indicated such. Rosy Boas are especially sensitive to humidity levels that are in excess of their preferred range. Many species can tolerate a wide range of humidity levels and this makes it easy for us to keep them and never see any ill effects. Rosy Boas, however, have major problems with regurgitation if the relative humidity is even slightly high. I suspect BCIs would have problems with the lowered humidity that Rosy Boas require.
Cheers.
