Putting Them together??

I want to take a pic of my BP and boa together do you think it will be ok or with they consume one another like in horror movies?? I just visualize the bigger boa taking on the BP both are close to the same size and I won't do it when they are hungry. I fed last night so ill wait 3 days and then take one if allowed.

If neither one of them is aggressive in general, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Looking forward to seeing the pictures

OK, here comes Jay with the voice of concern. First of all are you 100% sure that they are both parasite free? I would worry about cross contaminating. Second, if I were going to try and get pics together I would start slowly, maybe have someone hold one while you hold the other, and see how they get along. Other than that I would love to see pics (isn't that a double edged sword. lol)

well if they don't get together its a total wrap(no pun intended) they won't spar, so whats left, hissing and going the other way?? i think all snakes domestic and same size get along. I know a friends who house a huge10' burm with a BP and my friend is tubing the BP..why?? it thought it was dinner, we wonder if it will survive, although healthy looking, its skin is loose and elasticy feeling. Try as we may if tubing works or not.
