From all that I have read...housing different species of snakes together is frowned upon. The previous post listed many good reasons not to do it. Also, snakes are not social animals and keeping them together could cause undue stress. Monitoring the health of a snake would be much harder while it's in with another snake.

Maybe you could find a way to incorporate two enclosures into a very interesting piece for your living room.

:I am considering housing my Dumerils Boa with a Jungle Carpet Python (after proper quarentine period). Does anyone see a problem with this if the enclosure is large enough to give both snakes ample room? I know most people agree that if you can't afford seperate enclosures, then you can't afford two snakes. I do not agree with this as I have no problem purchasing a seperate enclosure, but I have a large display enclosure that is just awesome and the two snakes together would really add to my living room. What problems might I encounter with this mix? ANY feedback (positive or negative) will be appreciated.
