    Animals that could live in the same rack as BPs?

    Title says it all. I am hoping to get a rack from RBI, but I want to keep some other species as well. Any animals that would work, it is a 41 quart tub rack

    The tub size is large, but as far as temps and everything, Leopard Geckos.

    My Western Hognose lives in the same rack as BPs, and she seems quite happy... a 41qt tub might be kinda big for them, so deep substrate (for burrowing) would be a must. Most colubrids do like it a bit cooler than pythons, but she seemed restless when I housed her with the corns!

    I also keep Stimson's Pythons, Spotted Pythons and a Jungle Carpet in racks with BPs, so you could also consider those species. The JCP will eventually outgrow the rack, but it can take years for them to reach full size.

    Ball Pythons: 0.4 Normals, 1.0 Pastel, 1.1 Mojaves, 1.0 Black Pastel, 2.0 Spiders, 0.1 Lesser, 1.0 Orange Ghost, 0.1 Honeybee

    3.4 Corn Snakes, 1.1 Western Hognose Snakes, 1.2 cats, and 1.0 dog (47lb mutt)

    Nicaraguan Boas are a good fit for that tub size and those temps as adults. Central American Dwarf females not from the Nic line can get a little larger and like a larger enclosure.

    Blood pythons will be able to live in the same rack for a while, but will outgrow it at about 3 years of age. Have to put bigger water dishes in to keep humidity a little higher and I keep the bloods on the bottom of the rack where it tends to be a degree or two lower in temp.

    I agree about the hognose. My male has lived in the bottom rack (cooler) just fine, and has never missed a meal yet!

    I have kept and bred Leo's, Cal Kings, Western Hognose and BP's all within the same rack in the past .

    Angolan Pythons!! They're almost the same size as BPs and husbandry is about the same.
