I know they can't be feed mice together but can they at least live in the same habitat together. I have a 90 gallon tank which I think should be efficient enough for both of there needs. Also if the male and female can't live together because of there sex. Whould a one year old male Ball Python be able to live with a baby male Burmese Python? I really want to get a female burmese python but I guess I could get a male, thank you for you info, it will be greatly appreciated.

NO!!! you should never house two different snakes together.
besides, soon, that burmese will need a much larger enclosure. you might as well get it now. snakes don't need company. it would probably stress them both out, and the ball would probably go off feed.
burmese are tropical, and need a more humid environment than balls.
here is a care sheet for both. read up and enjoy.

well neither burmese or ball pythons eat other snakes so i would say you wouldnt have to worry about one eating the other, but since they are not even the same species and would not be to together for breeding they should not be in the same cage. no snakes should be kept together unless for breeding they can get stressed out and bps are known for going off feeding even with proper care. why add more stress ? and a 90 gallon is not going to last long for a burm unless you dont feed it. they can grow from a hatchling to 10 feet in a year. burms are not for novice keepers they get big and can be aggressive.
i dont know how long ya have kept snakes or what ones you have kept but i would suggest you dont jump into getting a burm, or any large constrictor and a baby burm will could eat a baby rat easy and will be able to eat rabbits. my 13 foot 90 pounder eats 16 large to jumbo rats or 10 pound rabbit

No.. this should never be done. Snakes are solitairy animals and should not be housed together. It will cause too much stress and although neither animal is considered a snake eater, it can and does happen. I guarantee that if you place them together you will wake up one morning and find just the burmese left.

It depends on how aggresive your ball python is. To my Knowledge they aren't very agresive. It also depends on how big both snakes are. e.g. if the pytho is 2 feet (62 cm) long and your burmese is 2-3 feet (62-83 cm) long I think it could be posible: but if the ball is 2 (62-83 cm) feet long and the burmese 4 feet (124 cm) long the burmese will probably eat it.

Here kitty-kitty.......snakes love to eat snakes, but some will say no. A Burmese (particularly a female) could be deemed downright testy, but, a larger more gentle snake might consider it 'Yummy'. Good Luck !!

Basically, it depends on their size. If they are both the same size and have a lot of hiding places (With a big cage) there should be no problems. If one is bigger than the other, it will try to eat the smaller one.
