Just because I, and my girlfriend, have been "bashed" on housing animals together, I'm just going to point this out since it seemed to be the big issue on the other thread. Not to start a fight or anything but because I seem to be missing something.

B. c. occidentalis:
Ideal temps. Degrees will vary from person to person but the idea is pretty much the same.

80ish on the cool side
85 - 90ish on the warm side
Basking of 90 - 95 degrees
(Night mid to high 70s)

Cage humidity should be kept somewhere around 50-70 percent.

P. regius:
Same as above stated.

80 - 85 on the cool side
90-95 on the warm side/basking
(Night mid to high 70s)

Cage humidity should be at least 60 percent.

Now people were bashing the guy because they require different types of niches. The only differences I see are the parts of the world these two animals are from. (Balls are often found in rain forests, and Boa constrictor do not need that high of humidity).

Also, a lot of people house the two animals exactly the same, especially breeders. Paper towels, hide and water bowl running on the same line of heat tape, within the same rack.

The cage appears to be longer than the pic provides - may not be much, but again, I've seen worse by people who are worshipped by many herpers.

My point is, this is the tatic I get a lot because I am an avid mixer of species.(Thought out methods and mixes) So I get a lot of you shouldn't do this or that, kinda kills me because these people are usually recently introduced to the hobby in comparison. I won't get into that, however.

I personally stayed out of the last thread because I do not like attacking people. Errors were made on both sides, so I couldn't defend or advise either.

Just thought I'd throw this up..

Also, just and FYI..
I have seen regius eat each other and Boa constrictor ssp eat each other. Cannablism does exist with these two. And, these were not accidental feedings either..

Just my two cents,
Sorry.
