I certainly don’t recommend it. I do keep corns together and some black rat snakes together, but I never recommend keeping different species together. In fact, I have never seen a boa and a python in the same cage.

That is VERY bad husbandry! Do not ever do that! And no, you don’t rule.

The guy at petco is either;
a)lieing (would not surprise me)
b)starves his snakes
or
c)a combination of a) and b)

you can’t even put a ball python in a 55 gallon tank due to the fact that they have the worst possible dimensions (4’ by 1’, Why on earth would you use it for ANY snake?).

Houseing different species of animals is inhumane IMO. Houseing two different snakes (same species or different species) is bad, due to the fact that snakes are solitary. they do best when housed singly.
