carpet python, ball python, and columbian red-tail boa together?

Question

in same tank. please let me know any cons with keeping them together. thanks.

Answer 1

hotsnake has a great point and very true too, but another con is that the carpet python are semi-arboreal meaning they spend alot of time in the trees, the ball and red-tails are ground dwellers mainly (i dont know scientific term) plus another con is that each of these snakes require different amounts of humidity, jungle carpets are happy around 70% humidity then higher during shed, the ball are more like 50 to 60% max and balls get blister disease real easily if the humidity goes above 60 % for a prolonged time. one other con is that they are all different sized and grow at different rates, plus you cant feed them in the same tank as they might constrict each other vying for food items. another con is that they might fight for the "perfect" hiding spot.
best of luck to you and your snakes

Answer 2

Snakes are solitairy animals and should always be housed separately. Housing them together can cause stress, disease and even death. Even snakes that are not normally a snake eater can and have eaten other snakes.
Not to mention, the requirements are different for these animals.
Then there is always the fact that Boas carry diseases that can be deadly to a python. A ball python does not have the immunity to fight off the foreign parasites.
Boas and Pythons should never ever be kept in the same cage. And a cage containing a boa should be thoroughly cleaned before placing a python in it, even after the boa is gone.

Get your snakes separated, they will be much happier and a whole lot less stressed.

Answer 3

i have seen pics of a columbian that ate a ball python and ended up regurgitating it and both snakes died. all three snakes are different species shouldnt be kept together. snakes should only be kept together for breeding other then that they should be in separate cages even if they dont eat each other or get sick they could be stessed and not want to eat

Answer 4

There are definitely cons.

Carpet Pythons come from the Australia / New Zealand area.
Ball Pythons come from Africa.
Boa Constrictors come from Central and South America.

EACH of these areas have DISEASES that the native reptiles have a resistance to and you will be introducing these diseases to snakes that have NO RESISTANCE.

They are your snakes and you are entitled to do anything you wish to or with them..but you may not like the results.
