I am born 8-11-71 and my bf is born 8-2-65 we want to make it work. can it work? what are good tips?

To be honest, the compatible index is not very high. You share little in common. Snake man is smart, cautious, realistic, and perseverant. Pig woman is simple and kind. To make it work, you should put yourselves into each others' shoes. Communication and tolerance is the key to happiness. Good luck! :)
