You oughta do something about this Will guy deleting posts just for his convinience, it ain't the first time he does it. Yeah, those are DFR's pics, his name is Rich. I should develop an old film that I have that shows how I housed boas and bp's together before. I've done it before and will do it again.

Trust me, I'm taking care of it.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I have read DFR's posts elsewhere on less friendly and open-minded forums where he has gotten jumped for this housing arrangement. If I remember correctly,
1) He has been keeping snakes since the 60's
2) These particular snakes have been housed together for six years
3) He houses them this way because he enjoys housing them together, not because he has to
4) He does have other housing available if feeding or health problems develop

Danny, I personally would love to have DFR stop in and tell us about his setup. I know he says it has worked for him long term. I would like to be able to talk with him about it in our FRIENDLY, OPEN-MINDED forums :!:

Send him a pm on that other forum, he might get back at you. I can't give you his email simply because he said that people often come at him wrong.
Just to clarify a few things, I house my snakes together because I want to, understanding the number of things that can go wrong. I also have extra tanks that are empty in case a problem occurs.

But it is just beyond me why you would want to wait around for a problem TO occur for housing your snakes this way. You're putting your snakes up there in harm's way for no reason. I'm trying to be open minded about this, but I just can't. I can do it for people who house two ball pythons together, or two corn snakes together, but...ugghhh.......This is just insane.

I'm not trying to change your mind nor to argue. This has worked out for me so far, so I'll do my thing and you do yours. Simple as that.

6 years, no problems, everyone eating. I mean, that is a lot more then some of us can say, even housing individually. This is exactly what I mean by going off and on your own path of husbandry. If you follow husbandry by the book, how is there room for improvement?

I don't advise housing together for diff species at all. Because of this risk. But this guy did it so perfectly it worked.

You couldn't have said it better...
