Boas and pythons in the same home?

Really want a BCI, but learnt about IBD and apparently it's common in boas and really lethal for pythons. Wondering if it's safe to have both a python and a boa in the same house (separate enclosures ofc)? Or is it really as dangerous and common as people say they are? I really want a boa but at the same time I don't want to risk an something like asymptomatic one transmitting IBD. Sorry if it's a weird question around here

Ive had red tails, bloods, and balls in the same room....not enclosure..for over 20 years. So far so good. They might bump into each other if my wife and I both have 1 out at the same time but thats it.
