handling multiple snakes??
Hey everyone. I have a quick question. I was woundering if I could handle both my corn snake and Common boa at the same time?? The corn is about 4 feet long and the boa is about 2 1/2 feet. They are both about the same thickness. They are both easy to handle. Would they try to hurt eachother or would they be fine??

If they were the same species I would have a different opinion but being that they are different species, I would agree with Lady Bug on this one.

Re: handleing multiple snakes??
Nope, you need both hands to handle one snake, simple as that. Handling two snakes is just asking for trouble, in my opinion.

This is my area of concern but as you can see Ive done this before as well and these are decent size snakes as well.

Re: handleing multiple snakes??
Yea I wouldn't try it, but the boa is still small and I can handle both with one hand. Also, if I put the boa by the corns cage and they don't seem to mind eachother.

Re: handleing multiple snakes??
You should definatly not put them together just put them in different cages, they each need their own territory, they would kill each other for it.

They have different cages.. I just want to know if I can get them out at the same time in my room without one going after the other.
