I currently have a butter corn snake that I really like. I am also thinking about getting a smaller boa, maybe like a Costa Rican boa, Hogg island or BRB. The butter corn is a baby and the boa would also be a baby. I would like to get a cage that is like one cage, but can house two snakes separately. Where can I get one of these online? Any links for me?

Thanks! Lou.

Your corn will take average humidity of around 50%.
Your normal Boas will take a bit more around 55-65%.
The Brazilian Rainbow will take 90%+.

I always start my babies of in Rubbermaid or Sterilite tubs. They are cheap, secure and will hold humidity very well.

These all have cages that you can put dividers into to make two separate cages in one.

50% for a corn? preposterous.

I kept mine years ago at 30 percent with no issue, full sheds bro.

You are correct. My key word here was AVERAGE, 30 - 60 is fine.

Most areas run approx., 40-50 %

Doesn't it depend which on locale of corn snake you get? The one I have was wild caught from a very swampy area of Florida where humidity is high.

I stand corrected.

Suggesting something that the OP actually asked for.......You can go with a boaphile if you'd like something more terrestrially oriented. They have an option for a center divider to house 2 species separately.
