Caging 2 Boas Together

[Acco_Asphyxia]

Just wondering whether housing a young (very young) common boa with a 9 months old boa together in one terrarium is okay. They are both females and the terrarium is big enough to house both (for now) and they will only be housed together for a little while. The 9 month old is currently in shed mode (eyes just cleared up).  They won't fight will they? Need answers A.S.A.P, please. Any info will be GREATLY appreciated!

P.S. They will only be housed together for a very limited time.

You can keep two or more Boas together without any problem except during feeding. You do run certain risks keeping more than one animal per cage. I kept more than one in each cage for years. Occasionally someone will bite someone else in a mistaken feed response and this can be very bad. I had one Boa at 5' kill his brother. That was a bad day but mind you I kept a LOT of Boas in multiples and only had this one bad incident. I don't do it any more though. It creates more work and isn't the best thing you can do for your charges. Health is something else you need to think about. If one Boa gets sick both may get sick. Single animals to single cages is always best.

Good luck!
