Can a boa and iguana live together in the same cage?

Answer 1

No. This may sound convenient, but would be bad for both pets and you.

First: Gliders taste everything in their environment. Iguana dung often carries salmonella. Salmonella poisoning can easily kill your gliders or make them very sick. Now you have an expensive vet visit and/or a dead pet.

Second: Iguana bites are serious and likely to carry infectious bacteria. An infected bite wound on a glider could cripple or kill it. Any bite wound will cost you an emergency vet visit and possibly a dead pet.

Third: Cold-blooded ground-dwelling lizards have very little in common with warm-blooded arboreal marsupials. Gliders need large cages with bars (like bird cages) for jumping and climbing. Such cages have a wire mesh floor that would not be good for iguanas, even with paper on top. Gliders make a mess with food and scat on the cage floor, right where your iguana walks.

You are not doing yourself a convenience by trying to put both animals in the same habitat. Please don't try it.

Answer 2

Two iguanas can live together, though they can sometimes get a little territorial. Try not to put two males together as they may try to battle each other.Though you basically can't do it with younger Igs' it is pretty simple to tell male and females apart. Males' tend to have very large jaws, they stick out quite a bit, also they have "plugs" ( wart like things) on their belly's. Females simply have a row of blackish brown dots on the bottom of their back leg. It is very hard to tell the sex of your Ig' until it is about two years of age or older. You might also want to prepare yourself for the possibility of a male iguana impregnating the female. Unless you want to breed or keep the baby igs.

Answer 3

You can house two boa constrictors in the same vivarium. However it is not recommended it can cause stress on the snakes. Some other problems is, It is hard to feed them in Their vivarium because they are two. Yes people will tell you never to feed in their housing because they may associate the cage being opened with feeding. I currently have 6 red tail boas and all 6 eat in their housing. They have never considered to bite me and do not associate the cage being opened with feeding day which is Sunday for me. Another problem is if its breeding season and one is a male and the other is a female. You may wind up with 30+ new boas that you was never expecting.

Answer 4

Depending on how big the cage is and where you live or put it... i never tried it but theres a possible chance it can work.

If the cage is maybe like 3m × 2m wide and 3 m tall it could have a chance and also it will need a lot of hiding place for sugar glider because if i remember correctly sugar glider are nocturnal (im an iguana keepers and i keep my iguana with love bird and ambon turtle in same cage :v).

Also depending on where you live it could get costly if you live on place where it gets snow you will need a heater and a heater for a big cage is very expensive but it could work if you live on tropical place (i live on tropical country and have my cage outside)

other than that it may have a chance of working but because its very costly its probably better to just have the sugar glider. as an iguana keeper i can confirm that you will get scratches all over your hand by handling them not to mention they also need tine to go outside every once in a while for excersise (and my iguana is only around 4 years old and im alredy complaning about it :v still love her tho )

Oh yeah also its only possible with female iguana if you have male iguana.... forget it... they are more aggresive and can get very moody and attack anything in breeding season... or when they develop their male breeding parts (well its basicly puberty for them i cant complain :/)

Answer 5

I don't know much about boas but I know Iguanas are very territoral and do not like to share their homes. I would NOT suggest this.

Answer 6

if you want the king snake to eat the iguana! literally are you that dumb?

of course they can't live together!
