So, I have my adorable cornsnake, however now I would like to get some form of boa. My question is this: Is there any chance of being able to put them together in the same tank? I'm having a hard time finding information on this sort of thing, though from what I can tell, as long as I don't use wood chips they should have near to the same needs.
Am I going to wake up in the morning a cornsnake short if I don't seperate them?

Cornsnakes are known to be cannibalistic sometimes. But it's never recommended to mix species in tanks anyways. I'd say it's a no on that question.

Nononoooo! Never mix different species of snakes, the boa could end up eating the corn since hes bigger. And another thing: corns and boas require different temps and humidity. Boas require high humidity and temps around 90 on the warm side where corns require lower humidity and higher temps.

Curses! My research has lead me astray!
Oh well, it was worth a try, right? I could quite shake the image of my cute William all curled up with a sweet boa. I suppose that is wha photoshop is for, right?
Thanks for the advice, guys!

the advise given is your best bet... it is generaly a bad idea to mix species, even if care is the same(which most times it isnt) most ppl will even tell you not to mix same species unless breeding(which I agree)
