I purchase a ball from a Breeder this morning (male 80g) and want to know if I can keep them together during their hatchling days if they have their own hides. Both will be fed outside of enclosure as well. I know it's a bad idea to keep snakes together normally but they are both very mellow and eating regularly. Also, both lived in 6qt racks prior so the immense number of hides along with more than enough space for them should be fine no?
The thing with Co housing is people seem to think they are getting along, being cute and following each other around and cuddling up, they're actually competing for the best place to be. I wouldn't do it with 2 balls never mind a ball and a boa. Best advice I can give you on this is to try get something sorted for the royal asap, they're not social animals and it can lead to a lot of stress which again might not be picked up on because they don't have a way of telling you like say a dog can .
