The ball python is a male, 4 years old, approx. 4 feet long.
Good temperment when handled even around large groups, a little timid, wasn't handled too much in its earlier years prior to being owned by myself.
The albino burmese python is a male, 3.5 months old, 2.5 feet long.
Very friendly, has only nipped me twice. Never shown aggressive behaviour since the event.

i wouldn't count on it especially since the burmese will get about 5 times bigger than the ball but for now they probably wouldn't fight but i wouldn't risk it. never a good idea to mix different species. and burmese definetly can't grow to 35 to 40 feet whoever said that the get 30 at a maximum and that is really rare they average at about 20 to 25 feet total length even if they are fed rabbits or goats.

Snakes are solitary animals. Housing them together can often lead to stress (something very easy to accomplish with bp's) Also, it's not a good idea to mix species.
Don't try it.

I suggest housing them seperately. The ball python will only get a little bit bigger in about a year, but the Burmese will grow much faster .. The ball will be lunch in no time!
Burmese can get up to around 35-40 feet eating chickens and rabbits .. I knew someone that actually fed his small goats!
Also, the Burmese pythons ARE MUCH MORE aggressive than the balls.

No, that is never a good idea! Snakes do stress easily, and they do not cohabitate in the wild.
