    Re: Question about different breeds of snake sharing the same tank, and about weight.

    My BP seems completely healthy, shows no symptoms of any sicknesses that are common in snakes that I've read about....
    Also, are they supposed to feel squishy? I mean, it's a pretty small animal right now. Only 6-7 months old or so. But it just seems like it gets a lot of wrinkles in its outer skin when it curves dramatically in a direction. I don't know if this is a sign of being underweight at all. I don't know it's exact weight at the moment. I dont have a real accurate scale to put it on.
    Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
    Housing two snakes together should not be done UNLESS they're breeding. Let alone a boa with a ball. There is thread where a RTB ATE a BP and regurgitated it.

    I'm not going to rant because i know plenty others will. But just please never do it.... Keeping two BP's in the same enclosure goes along the same.

    Bot saying you're guilty, just please dont follow bad husbandry

    To your BP itself. Would it be possible to see a picture? I know people with more experience would appreciate it.
