I keep some of my boas in the same rack as my ball pythons. I only buy my boas from trusted breeders to lessen the chance of the boas carrying any kind of disease. If they are disease-free, there is no threat in housing boas and pythons in the same rack.Originally Posted by LGray23
Cdavidson, do NOT keep boas in racks with ball pythons. They should technically be strictly quarantined away from ball pythons (not sure about other species of snakes?). They can carry a virus called IBD (also paramyxo) both will kill your entire collection. It's not very common, but definitely not unheard of. I always handle my bps first then my boa last, and always wash your hands or sanitize afterwards.
I keep my boa in a 34qt tub. It's working well so far. He has two hides and uses them all the time. Although I have heard most boas won't ever bother hiding, I never see mine unless I take him out of feed him. Anyways, if you have any other questions I'll help you out as much as I can
BTW, great looking bino.
