    Co-hab between a BP and CA Boa?
    I'm pretty sure the answer on this is no, but I'm going to ask just to make sure.
    Had an accident with one of the tanks, knocked off the table, busted it. The corn snake in there is fine, just a little rattled. Now I have 2 tanks, 3 snakes, all different types- 1 corn, 1 BP, 1 CA Boa. All are about the same length. Can any two of them live in the same tank for awhile with acting like the Crips and the Bloods? One other possibility, the BP is in a 55 gal tank. Was considering a divider for the time being, like a piece of cardboard from top to bottom. Right now, I don't have the $$ for a new setup, probably wont for a couple of weeks. I have Muffy (the corn snake) in the feeding box at the moment. It's made for transporting, has air vents and a top the snaps in place. It will be secure, but not ideal for any period of time.
    Input?

    Just keep them in a rubbermaid tub.

    The corn is in essentially a rubbermaid now, it's made to transport, plastic with vent holes, lid snaps tight. Temps won't be a problem? I can put a water dish in there for her. Just want to make sure she stays healthy until I can afford another set up. Thanks for the quick responses!

    Make sure you have something heavy on the lid. The corn should be fine. I found mine shed much better in a rubbermaid

    One of my nursing textbooks ought to do the trick. weighs about 10 lbs!

    On a side note, thanks for the input from you guys. We're still fairly new with snakes and still learning. Some questions I ask may sound a little dumb, but I'd rather ask a dumb question than come in some morning and find a dead snake when it could have been prevented. I appreciate you all's patience!

    I use binder clips on free standing tubs (ie ones not in a rack) and they work great. I have about eight on each of my three baby king's 6qt tubs and they haven't been able to squeeze out or escape.
