I'm thinking getting a jungle boa or salmon boa in a few month was just wondering what kind of setup and that i would need before i buy? and what care is needed to keep a snake like this, i already have a royal and he is great would have another one but only have a 2 foot vivarium and would need to buy a bigger vivarium to house both of them. So any if anyone has any information would be appreciated. :D

I'm planning a boa future too. If space for a second royal is an issue then maybe a boa isnt for you as you need a bigger viv. typical viv size for a BCI is min 5 foot. I may be wrong but ithink the salmon is a BCC and therefore bigger so min 6foot viv.
there r smaller boas, crawl cay is one at about 5foot as an adult but still need more space than a royal.

Hi there and welcome in ref to your Q your royal is in a 2ft viv that will be fine for a couple years but will need 3ft by 2ft as an adult.You should not put 2 together there will be prop pushing for the hot spots and stress so they are best kept on there own.Ref the samon boa i have had one since aug a baby at the moment he is in a 3ftx2ftx18insD but as sandi said will have to be 5ft min later i have a male which should grow to 7 to 8 ft. females 10+ and not forgetting she will have live young about about 20+ at one time. There are guy's and girls on here with years of experiance i am still a newby 4 years hope this helps all the best Sticks.
Firstly you need to know whether your boa is going to be BCI or BCC as the care is different. The requirements for a BCI are the same as a royal, although as already said you're looking at a minimum five foot vivarium for an adult.
I am slightly worried by the mention of co-habiting as it's really not a good idea.
