I have one male and one female rose tail boas they are each about one year old , can I put them together.....?

Answer 1

From a site about red tail boas in particular it had this to say:

Can I house more than one boa in the same enclosure?

This is one of the most often asked questions that I receive. I will first say that I believe that DIFFERENT species of snakes should NEVER be housed together, such as a boa and a ball python. The chance for disease spread, including IBD, are too risky. It has also been my opinion over the years that "If you cannot afford a second enclosure, then you cannot afford a second boa". Although this sounds very harsh it is actually based on a lot of experience and feedback.

It has never been a question of "CAN" two snakes exist in one enclosure.... It is done all the time. Healthy baby boas can be raised together for a long time, often without incident. BUT it is WHEN something happens that you need the extra enclosure. And IF you are 100% on top of every husbandry issue, these 2 snakes could live 20 years, have 300 babies (if male and female ,) and never have a health related issue. You know... "And they lived happily ever after"

However, in the real world there can and will be many different things happen that will cause them to "REQUIRE" separation. Whether this is simple feeding times, sickness, a bite, a burn, a regurgitation, etc etc, there will be times when they must be separated to allow recovery time. Back to the male/female issue. If the female becomes gravid, you will need somewhere for the male to be for 4 or 5 MONTHS. Although people house boas together all the time, I believe boas should only be housed together during breeding cycles. There are too many factors that require individual housing space. I will list some of the most common issues requiring separation here.

So if you are wanting to house them together be careful. Although some snakes mature at 3 or 4 years of age, they might be "teenagers" at 1 year and breed with the female being too young to safely bear young.

in the adventure that your cat has lived with out yet another cat before, he could not settle for her. If I have been on your concern, i could take the cat lower back to the guard. the hot cat will continually be an outsider. additionally cats are very jealous. it is risky to convey a guard cat on your place till you have taken him to a sturdy Vet and had it thoroughly examined for infestation, and ailment. they don't do something at shelters worth pointing out. when I say examined by making use of a Vet, I recommend the finished sequence that could fee extra desirable than procuring a purebred The licking incident isn't an illustration of love if it became into short, and merely in those 2 factors. Curiousity, sensing something in that section and tasting are actually not signs and indicators of love. the hot cat will continually be an invader on your cat's area.

Answer 3

Please never house any two snakes together.
Cohabitation causes great stress to the animals, which in turn causes feeding and shedding problems. If you keep snakes together and think they're okay, no offence, but it's because you're not experienced enough to see the signs of stress. Snakes are solitary animals and don't like being forced to share their space with another animal.

Snakes can also eat each other. It can and DOES happen, and in adult snakes too - it's a myth that only babies are cannibals. They can also fight, and breed even if you think they're too young at the moment.

Please just don't do it. Causing stress to animals which could be easily avoided borders on cruelty.

Answer 4

yes you may house 2 or more snakes together as long as you don't feed them together feed then in a Tupperware container separately we house our 2 ball pythons in 1 enclosure, 2 burm pythons in 1 enclosure and 3 red tails together in 1 enclosure etc.etc

Answer 5

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll be fine together. I've kept a male and female ball python together and they where alright. Maybe you should look into there temperament?! I Kept my snakes together since they where baby's and they where not stressed out!!! And unlike most Ball pythons my female loved to be held by me. I don't really care what anyone thinks about me keeping my snakes together because I've had them that way for years!
