I visited Busch Gardens in Tampa this weekend with my girlfriend, which was very nice. One of the last exhibits we saw was the "Curious Creatures" exhibit featuring snakes, bats, and and some nocturnal animals. I of course rushed to the snakes and saw the Boa Constrictor labeled exhibit and was suprised to see a full grown ball python in the exhibit. I was very amused by this until I noticed that they also had 2 very large red-tailed boas within the same enclosure! I've owned a ball python for only 2 years now, but the first thing I learned was you NEVER keep two different size snakes together, not to mention two different species.
I was wondering exacty what the chances are of the ball ending up as a meal or on the losing end of a fight as I've never owned a boa. Anyone been to Busch Gardens recently or seen this happen elsewhere?
