Kenyan Sand Boa

Question
Can you put more than one kenyan sand boa in a large size habitat?  I own three corn snakes in a 40 gallon breeder and I got two young ball pyhons in a another 40 gallon breeder.  They seem fine with there buddies but I was wondering if two kenyan sand boas can share a habitat together.  I know some snakes do not like having to share a habitat together like king snakes are aggressive to even to there own kind.

Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hey Thomas,

For starters King snakes are known to be cannibals and will eat each other.

I do not see there being any problem with sand boas being housed together. If you plan on breeding any of them however you should separate the males and females. They will become acclimated to each other and may not breed for you.
