It depends on how long ’temporarily’ is.

A few hours?
A few days?
A few weeks?
Longer?

I personally wouldn’t house 2 snakes together for 2 minutes. That’s just my opinion...some people do it and say"I do it and have never had any problems" until the day that they do... and its too late. To me... the risks just outweigh the convenience. Even temporarily.. (BTW temporary to me would mean... on the ride to the house... while I’m cleaning a tank...not weeks) but even temporarily... there are so many things to look at.. dominance... heat sharing issues...space sharing... who shed in the middle of the night? who pooped? who passed urates? If one gets a RI... how much will it cost to treat BOTH snakes...even if only 1 is showing symptoms...mites..parasites.. (you get the picture... I guess what I’m trying to say is... I wouldn’t do it.period.

Ok i saw enought here.

You can keep 2 boas together, specially if it’s about a little period as 1 month.
Don’t worry because nothing will happen, your tank will not explode and your snakes will not turn in Devils.

Take it easy
