Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Housing 2 animals together year round can be done. But I advise against it. The risks involved with illness and stress isn't worth the space savings. Plus makes feeding time a huge hassle.

It is not recommended to house two boas together.
They could cause stress to each other by competing for the best hot or cool spots,etc etc.It could also be dangerous during feeding days.
Safer & easier to house them seperate.

Not to mention, if one falls ill for whatever reason, the other is likely to follow. Keeping them together makes it hard to know who is hydrating or defecating as well.
The list for not keeping Boas together is much much longer then the list of reason to do it. Best for the Boa to keep them separate.

Are you planning on breeding them? When I kept boas just as pets I would keep them together without any issues at all. At one time kept a ball python and a boa together without issue. They would actually sleep together. The biggest thing to watch out for is when you feed them, they MUST be seperated.
If you're planning on breeding them though, they should be kept seperately.
