:I wouldn't. Dumerils and JCPs are from different parts of the world, and as far as I'm aware of, slightly different care. Even with quarantine (I'm glad you thought of that!), it's possible the JCP might have bacteria harmless to it, but could make your boa sick, or vice versa. And if I remember correctly, boas can carry IBD (Inclusion Body Disease) without being affected by it, but pythons are more susceptible. I wouldn't take a chance on housing them together for those reasons, but that's just me. Let us know on what you decide!
::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.
