Found this picture on the web and feel there's something very wrong! What do you think?

The first thing I see wrong is I cant read it.. Just kidding Jacky.
Do you think they actually keep the ball python and the boa together? I should hope not, thats really a scary thought.

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

Is the temperature and humidity requirements similar for BPs and boa constrictors? Not owning any large snakes, they tend to be low on my research list. Although I never try and promote the idea of community herp tanks, I also believe that they're doable, if you know what you're doing. I've been doing it successfully my whole life (well, as a kid I had some failures, hence why I don't promote the concept). I imagine they were together just for the photo, but it makes me wonder.

Me too Ken, there is some one from the states who posts on one of the uk forums and he has a yellow anaconda (or two), a couple of boas and a royal all co-habiting!!!

LOL;Marsha!!
Well,I do believe that the guy is keeping both snakes in the same tank.It doesn't really say,but I don't think that someone puts a snake from one tank to another snakes' tank just for a photo!! It wouldn't be very clever,would it?!
But all I can say is,poor snakes!!

Are boas more likely to eat pythons? Or the other way around? Or are they equally likely to want to eat each other at some point? Or is it just an issue of stress? I keep thinking that it must be pretty stressful for the snakes to live together when they're different species entirely.

Even snakes of the same species can be stressed living in the same enclosure...I noticed it in the two corn snakes I was keeping together a while back, and they relaxed considerably when I separated them. So did I for that matter...
