I wouldn't mix species. I don't think one would eat the other. have they
been quarantined? One could carry something the other has no natural defense
for. ask this at rec.pets.herp. i think you will get the same reply.

I still wouldn't mix species. Even without symptoms. a snake native to N.
America could carry something a snake from South America would have no
immunities to. the Boa would also need a different habitat then a bull
snake. humidity, temps etc.
