    BP and BCI living arrangements...

    I was just wondering if it is OK to stack a BP's tank atop a BCI's. The BCI is in a homemade glass-and-plexi tank that can have something atop it; I would be putting the 40-long BP tank on top.
    I was fearing the risks of IBD for the most part; but, thinking about it, my BPs are pretty close to the BCI the way things are; those who keep boas and BPs, how close are they housed?

    As long as no snake has IBD, I wouldn't worry.

    When we had our boas they were within inches to the ball pythons enclosures.Once everybody was clean and clear of any possibilities of having any bugs or other crap i pretty much placed the enclosures side by side.As long as the BCI enclosure can hold the weight of the other enclosure you should be fine to stack them.
