 Handling multiple snakes?

Was just wondering what your guys thoughts were on having more than one of your snakes out together? I see people post pictures of them holding two or more different types of snakes at once, I would just be afraid of them fighting or does that not happen? I have a Brazilian Rainbow Boa and a Dumerils Boa both just over a year old and would love to take them both out if possible.

For photos wouldn’t be that big of a deal. Especially if they are the same species. For extended handling sessions, I’d probably avoid it.. But more than likely nothing would go wrong.

I’ve done it, sometimes its hard to avoid. Say during cleaning, I’ve had my Anaconda and Burm out together. Keep their faces away from each other the best as possible, keep it for a short supervised period of time and you’ll probably be ok. NOT recommended, but you’ll PROBABLY be ok.
