    Re: boas cohabitating with pythons

I've seen many a post with feeding accidents resulting from two or more snakes being in the same enclosure, where the animals were fed and then one went after the other because it was still in feeding mode.

    Not to mention with adding the boa, it's been seen that if they're given enough time most boas will eventually end up killing the python and potentially eating it.

    Like Reakt20 said, get two smaller enclosures for the BPs and give the boa the large one.
    I couldn't have said it better myself. Weather it simplifies your life or not, it doesn't simplify theirs. Giving your RTB and bps the best life possible should be your aim, not simplicity.
