    Can I house my Rosy Boa's in the same room as my Ball Pythons?

    I have heard that you shouldn't house pythons and boas in the same room. But I wasn't sure if they were talking about the bigger boas. I only have 1 room in my house that is set up for reptiles, and I would like to have all of my healthy snakes Ball Pythons/Rosy Boas in 1 room if it is ok for them. Thanks.

    As long as you quarantine all reptiles before putting them in your room then you will be fine. I suggest a 90 day quarantine.

    If you can meet the husbandry needs of both animals in the same room, go for it. Rosies, as far as I know, require lower temps and lower humidity than balls.

    Yes they do. So I keep the room a steady temp and have the racks get the temp where I want them to be for the hot spot for the snakes. Winter will be the hard part, since Rosy's cool at a lot lower temps, but I will figure that out in the fall. We didn't even have a winter this year. lol.
