just curious for now but.....

NEVER house snakes together period. Even if its the same species, problems arise eventually and not worth it.


When ever getting a new snake whether its a boa or a ball, always qt them apart to be sure they are healthy enough to co-inhabit in the same room

I think he meant together as in the same rack, but not the same tub

I forgot to mention QT

Correct, I should have specified

Is a show a bad place to get a snake?

As stated, it's always good to be safe. Quarantine ANY new snake for at least 30-60 days and know your breeder. Do your research. As far as housing them in the same rack/room, some will say it's ok...some won't. If you get a snake from a show (which is a great place to "shop around" and buy at), just make sure you treat the enclosure for mites. Just because the person you buy off doesn't have mites, doesn't mean you won't bring a few home from someone else's table. It ALWAYS pays to be safe. I keep most of my male boas in a cb-70 rack, which is only a 30qt I believe. They are more perfectly fine in there too. I have a couple that are in 321D's too.
