  1. mixing species should never be done and shouldnt be even attempted without years of experience..first of all the boa and box turtle have completely different needs and ones needs might harm the others health in the long run so do both animals a favor and separate them


  2. Absolutely not. Their needs are completely different. Box turtles require UV lamps and sand boas do not. They could even prove detrimental to the snake as the high UV output necessary for the turtles health can burn or damage the eyes of the snake. Keep the animals separated. Snakes are solitary creatures anyway and really don't desire or in fact enjoy a cage mate.

  3. no they cant if the sand boa digs under the turtle (bam) turtle is on top of snake making internal damage  

  4. no.

    the box would likely kill or injure the snake.

    not to mention they need opposite environments.

  5. no they cannot

  6. Don't ever mix any reptiles and amphibians together.
