well I am not a professional so let me get that out of the way. If not for the feeding I do believe the requirements for a burm and a red tail are slightly different. Im not sure how different. I guess the biggest thing is these animals would never come in contact with each other naturally. The red tail is from south american and the burm is from asia. I would think that at least humidity requirements could be at least slightly different. There was someone recently on cl in Detroit who was housing a red tail, a ball, a cornsnake, and a milk snake all in a 4 X 2 enclosure. If it works i guess it works but it does go against general husbandry practices. This is why we should have some standards of care established in our society on herp care. Just my 2 cents.
