Its never good with any snakes to pair them together unless they are the same breed (with an exception of king snakes). Putting a WC with a CB poses problems because a WC may have problems with parasites (some live in snakes that are good to boost their immune system from other sicknesses) and could easily give it to a CB snake that can not fight that off. Good luck with the desicion you choose. I know I have played around with the desicion and ultimately put both of my female ball python and redtail boa together and no one is sick and they are just fine. Good luck... and before anyone says anything, yes I am aware its dangerous to put a boa with a python because of the risk of IBD being given to my python but I have proof that she doesn't carry IBD

Thats good mate but all anyone has said is its not a good idea but if it is working for u than good on ya and it has been done a fair bit but also ended badly a fair few times.

As previously said good luck. However not recommended. Also ensure around feeding time that they are both full. If you do not then the larger one may look at the smaller one and think, decent sized meal, still smells like mice/rat! Delicious.
Also other thought pattern is disease? Was it properly quarantined? Each to their own.
Just keep a close eye on them.

What about when the Olive grows bigger? I have seen pictures on here of a captive bred olive half way through swallowing a port mac carpet.
It sounds like you will do what ever you want but the bottom line is that just because it is working for you now it does not mean they are now besties and will always get along. While ever they are kept together there is a risk of one deciding not to wait for it's next rat and downing it's companion instead.
Hopefully that won't happen, but if it does you can't say you were not warned.Before you criticize some one walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them you're a mile away.................... And you have their shoes!!!

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. - Bruce Lee.

Kodie= keep us posted on how ya go, i hope it all works out for you but if you have the space you mate you really should consider seperation. ive had dragons live together for years and then out of nowhere just decide to kick off and one always ends up losing a limb or tail. In snakes you will end up losing one of the two. keep that in mind mate. GLMost everyone's mad here.........You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself....
That mullet is almost as epic as that snake!

Kodie please listen to the advice that you ASKED for. Do NOT put them together. If you do you will be doing more harm then good. There are soo many reasons why. please do the right thing by both of the snakes.

Assuming you only have one enclosure , you could get a big [ 50l or more ] click clack and put one in for now . Put the click clack in the big cage and it will stay warm , good for now . [ dont forget the air holes ;]
- Where would you put the click clack? Originally Posted by Jungletrans
