Is that snake housed with a red tail boa??

[Derrick]

Good eye Jeff looks like it to me.

[ChokeOnSmoke]

here we go
nice looking snake though

[Derrick]

OH YA it is a nice one. snack size even

[nita]

I had to look twice to see that Jeff. I would have to agree with you and Derrick.

[ccarr1]

Yeah, that is my baby boa in there.....i'm in the porcess of building another cage and i put him in there with the bp.The bp has never been as active now than ever before though.

[smeagel]

It would have been a whole lot better for you to go out and buy a $5 rubbermaid and a heating pad for him until your new enclosure is ready, but thats just what i would have done.

[malaysianbloods]

smeagel: is right on this one because you should never house two different species in the same cage because they have differnt needs.

[Bristen]

There are pictures circulating on the internet of a boa that ate a Ball Python... seperate them now...

Get the $5 RubberMaid and heatpad that smeagel was talking about, and then keep the BP in it.. build your new enclosure for your boa, but don't put the BP in with the boa....

Keep us posted,
Bristen.

Bristen is correct! Just recently someone had a good sized boa eat a ball python and then it regurged it back up (dead of course)

I'd really make sure to seperate them as soon as possible. Your new snake is very cute, and I am sure you'd love to keep it that way. :)

good job Marisa, I think I came on a little dry in my reply... :(

Yup I've seen that pic too, disgusting. If I'm correct wasn't the head like mutilated from the acid in the stomache? Ya it wasn't a pretty picture. Cute BP but who knows what could have already happened disease wise by putting them together. Hopefully you'll get them seperated soon. Reccomend a vet exam as well.

*coughs* hopefully that wood isn't "bare" either, or it will soak up urine and runny poo's .

[malaysianbloods]

The thing that was so crazy about that boa that ate the ball python is that there was not that much of a size difference between the two snakes. The reason your ball python might be so active might not be because he is happier but because he is trying to get away from the boa. But thats just IMO.

I have my two balls in sterlites(rubbermaids are hard to find here) and pads hooked to thermostats, stacked. Works out great.

I also will be moving my pine to a larger sterlite very soon, til I can build a custom cage for it, til then, it's resting nicely, like my balls in a rubber enclosure.

Not to chorous everyone else, but you are housing two different genus's from two different continets.

On a side note, didn't know myself boas could become canbalistic unless two snakes grabbed the same prey and pulled a smaller animal down the gullet. Is this a rumor?

[marisa]

It didn't cannabilize the ball python. Cannabils eat their own which means the story would have been a boa eating another boa.

The story is very true with photos. Someone housed a similar sized boa with a ball and the boa took the ball down.
