    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Do you think it would be a problom if I housed 2 female redtails together in a cage that was of appropriate size? Or vice versa 2 males?
 
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.
