boas cohabitating with pythons

[Highline Reptiles South]

I don't think snide sounding comments are what needs to be posted. The OP is here looking for help and guidance, not to be made to feel stupid or talked down to.

I'm not trying to sound snide or [mean] either, just wanted to say that I'm sure we ALL have things to learn and bp.net is a wonderful place for that and to help out other herpers

My point is this. When one first becomes interested in exotics, you need to do the research BEFORE you bring them home, not after. I have taken in too many sick and dying exotics that were brought home by folks with good intentions but a "ready, shoot, aim" approach to animal husbandry. These have included both balls and boas (add parrots and dogs as well). Perhaps that is why i don't demonstrate much patience for poor husbandry.

Both are solitary animals, Boas have a tremendous feeding response and if you ever saw a really hungry or jazzed up boa hit a rat I would think you would have second thoughts of ever housing it with another snake. There are caresheets for both listed here....read them. Ask your breeder, the pet store etc...
