Same room is fine if you get the boa from a reputable breeder, IBD is only transferred via some type of contact as far as anyone can tell, however paramyxo is airborne. If you get it from a great trusted reputable breeder the chances of that is slim.
And I believe any boid/boa species can carry both without symptoms for a very long time, and Dumeril's boas included. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

+1 on the Dumerils. My 3 y/o male has just about outgrown his 64 quart tub and will soon be moved into a 4'X2' enclosure.
I will add Sand Boas to that list...

In baby boas IBD kills them just as fast as pythons. I have done tons of research on IBD and thats really what ive usually found.
However, adult boas can have it for a long time and not show it for a while.
