Can a male ball python and a female Burmese python live together

No snakes should really live together

No they can't.

If my female burmese lived with a male BP, she'd probably eat him. She likes the single life. I haven't seen any cross-species snakes successfully live together in the same enclosure. It's stressful for them

There are several reasons these two snakes should not live together. The first is that they are solitary animals and will only be stressed by sharing their space, this is true for most snake species. In snakes stress is very detrimental to their overall health and can even cause death. Second, the Burmese python will grow much faster than the ball and will likely eat him. Thirdly, there a very small chance that they could mate and produce offspring. It is hard to find people who want hybrid animals, so you would likely be stuck with them for life. Keeping them together will cost you much more than paying for another enclosure down the line.
