Not regurgitation by any means. It's simply common sense that if animals (any kind of animal) are housed together, the risk of them both getting sick if one does is almost certain. Same with if any two animals are together and one poops something weird, unless you saw it, you're gonna have a very, very tough time telling who it was. Even more so with snakes, seeing as they go a LOT less than most animals. I'm using deductive reasoning and common sense.
And yes, I HAVE seen a Retic eat. They're big reptiles and putting two in the same enclosure and then trying to feed them will be much, much tougher than just dealing with one. Heck, I wouldn't want another boa in with mine when I feed her. Some days she's the most docile feeder ever, other days she's just as likely to go for my hand than the rat.
Using sensible reasoning, it's just better to house them separately. But hey, since I don't ACTUALLY have experience, I guess everyone can just ignore me.
Just because you haven't gone skydiving, doesn't mean you don't know you'd need a parachute...
Basically, OP, you're gonna make the final decision. I'm guessing you're a smart guy/gal, so I'm sure you'll do what you're comfortable with.
We will never forget you...
