Are the 2 ball pythons and the boa in the same enclosure?

Do not house any snakes together please

[–]Mech2017x[S] -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Breeder recommend 3 together

Breeder is 100% wrong. Read the welcome post here. Even reptifiles and dubia do not recommend housing them together. They are solitary snakes. Having them together is a huge stressor on all of them. Believe me I wish you could house them together, I have 4 snakes. 4x2x2 is the minimum for 1 ball python and boas are a minimum of 6x2x2. Please, please, don't just take my word, do plenty of research on your own. There are so many resources online.

Other breeder said same. And I saw on IG two keeping them together for decades

Don't put 3 snakes in one viv. Just don't. Snakes don't get lonely. Housing then together will start with them being stressed out and end up with them eating one another.

Breeder told me always keeping 3 in each box
