We have an adult female pastel that is typically housed with multiple adult BP's (both male and female). She hasn't sold yet, as such she has "house guests" for weeks/months at a time without issue. We Also had a pair of Columbian Boa's in the same environment, they were inseparable, & did not like to be away from one another. I absolutely refuse to believe it's impossible for them to be sociable with another like species.
If I hadn't personally experienced two opposite sex BP's in the same environment cohabitate I would not have considered it.
My inquiry was more guided toward the age difference between the two. He's quite a bit smaller than she is (I don't have a scale to measure weight). I have yet to combine two of such varying age, but it appears that all is well.
