I have a 3ft viv for my 3ft plus Royal
I intended to get a Boa in about 12 months when I have the extra space for a bigger spare viv for it. My mate has just said I could keep a baby boa in wuth the Royal and it should be fine for 12 months or so....
Now obviously if I could I would as I;d love to get a baby boa however I;m concerned that the Royal would eat the boa and concerned that it would upset my royal and that there would be territory problems
I;m relatively new to snakes and have only had my Royal for 2 months now. I;m lovig being a snake owner and want to keep a few space permitting
Can anyone offer me some advice on this
cheers Simon |

i agree, dont put them in same viv, but why not the same room, think your being a bit over the top tbh, i keep mine in the same room, with my boa in a rub on top of my royals viv. just think of all the pet shops in the world that have loads of diiferent types of snakes/lizards/tarantulas and tortoise in the same room. |

This boa and royal were housed together. The boa killed and ate the royal, then decided it was to big and regurgitated it.
I would question your mates experience.

thanks for the response , as you can probably tell I have my reservations myself but if its possible and safe for both snakes then I;d love to give it a go as I am liking the Boas as well |

wouldn't think it the best idea. not just the stress factor but there would be IBD to think about and quariteen . Also Boa's require different humidity levels. So i would say no.
