Can i keep a boa constrictor imperator and a boa constrictor constrictor in the same cage?

Question

i know i should not keep them in the same cage because of disease spread...but would they fight or would one eat the other?

Answer 1

dreamer is right red tailed boas do grow larger and faster especially the females, but they probably wont fight, mayb a few bites sometimes but not eat each other, boa constrictors are not canibalistic, but those bites could turn into infections which could lead to death.  anyways good luck and have fun with em

ps. even if they were the same speicies u shouldnt house them together, even if it were a male and female because they would still fight for terrority, and 1 of them will bound to be stressed out because the other 1 took a good hiding place, if u are gonna mate em put em together for like only 2 hours ea day then seperate them good luck bye

Answer 2

They probably wouldn't harm each other, but that doesn't mean they should be put together. Snakes are solitary. I have 150 snakes and every one is housed by itself. I have about 90 eggs set to hatch in the next couple of weeks and I already have enclosures ready for all of them too. When I was real young and didn't know any better, I would keep more than one snake in an enclosure, and in the long run, I found it was a bad idea. Health problems, feeding problems, etc.

Answer 3

You should never keep ANY 2 snakes in one cage.  Period.  One snake per tank.

BCC get much larger than BCI and would definitely fight with or eat them.

Don't get more snakes than you can house properly.
