I would imagine that it would be ok as long as you followed proper quarantine procedures before putting him in the same room and rack as your ball pythons. But not sure otherwise.

If you've had your boa for over 3 months and haven't noticed any health (primarily neurological) issues, then it should be fine.

Generally speaking if they've been separated from each other and you didn't notice any problems like was stated above for at least 3 months (I prefer to go for closer to 4 or 5, but it's a personal choice) then it should be fine. As long as they aren't in the same tub I see no problem, but again there are things that happen that we cannot foresee; there's always the small chance of your boa passing on a disease that she remained asymptomatic for, but again if you quarantined her for a decent amount of time before them being in the same rack then it should be just fine.
