Answer 1

Best not to mix species as they might not be suited to the same environment. One might be carrying a pathogen or parasite that would affect the other. They would be rivals for any food .

Answer 2

Absolutely not. Besides the fact that you really shouldn't mix different species, the housing and husbandry for each of these snakes is very different!

Ball Pythons are a much more "forgiving" snake if you mess up their husbandry a little, GTP's are not. Gtp's require a constant higher humidity, balls do not. Gtp's prefer a vertical(up) cage, balls like smaller, cosy ground level cages. As mentioned, each snake carries its own personal parasites. They are harmless(but essential) to each individual snake, but could kill the other one.

Either snake can easily be kept safely, as a neonate or juvenile, in a small shoebox size container(actually preferred housing for GTP's) while you get the required housing. Even better, get the proper housing before you aquire the snake as this will aleviate possible stress and feeding problems.

Answer 3

properly there are various uncomplicated pets that fall into the boas and python categories. in spite of in the event that they have a huge selection of care. some are small, others are very long. some are natuarlly docile and different would be complicated to tame. A ball python is in all threat the main uncomplicated boa/python as a puppy. They attain 3-4 ft long and have a marginally super girth(width). they're frequently domicile in a 20 gallon long or larger tank whilst comprehensive grown. they're easilly tamed and are happy to curve up and loosen up on your hand as hatchlings. the 2d and better snake i'd reccomend is a Rosy-tailed Boa. They get 6-10 ft counting on genes, feeding schedules, and gender. they're applicable snakes, and have a solid popularity for being friendly the two as hatchlings and adults. They in spite of if because of the fact of there length require a plenty larger enclosure as adults. maximum Rosy-tailed boa vendors i comprehend geared up there very own enclosures rather of procuring super glass tanks. those 2 snake species are uncomplicated in puppy shops because of the fact they're solid snakes, and however maximum does no longer evaluate a RTB a "beginner" snake, with sufficient examine a RTB may well be an excellent first boa or python. evaluate doing searches for "ball python caresheet" or "rosy tailed boa caresheet" and inspect the temperature and humidity standards for vivariums for those and the different pets you may evaluate getting! Goodluck choosing a puppy!

Answer 4

do NOT house any type of snakes together. they are solitary animals which means they SHOULD be kept alone. please dont even house the same species of snakes together or different species of snake together.

the housing and husbandry for each of these snakes is very different also.

Answer 5

Never combine snakes of different species in the same terrarium, even if one is arboreal and one terrestrial. With some species it is a bad idea to combine several of the same. It would be best for the health of the snakes (both physical and mental(stress)) if they were housed separately. Not to mention there is a huge difference in habitat requirement, the GTP requires higher humidity and more maintenance in general than the ball.

Answer 6

I wouldn't risk it. Ball pythons normally don't have a problem being kept in a terranium with other balls, but green tree pythons are much more aggressive and territorial. It might try to kill the ball.

Answer 7

You'd be taking way too big a risk- snakes are housed separately for a reaon.

One might eat the other, too, you know.

Answer 8

ONLY EMERALD BOAS STAY TOGETHER IN THE SAME TERRARIUM BUT IT IS A GOLDEN RULE TO NEVER MIX SPECIES

VERY RISKY!
