Handling different snake species together?

[alexgreen]

Hello! I'm newish to the forum and I have been keeping reptiles and amphibians for about 5 years now (Started herping and keeping them when I was 10) and I wanted to hear your guys's opinions about handling multiple snake species together. Currently my only snakes are a bp and corn snake- obviously it's a bad idea to keep them living together because of stress, different climates, etc. but what about handling them together? Is there any danger in it or would it go fine? I just have that scary image in the back of my head of one or the other giving the other one a good bite. They're about the same size and both have great temperaments. The only time one of them bit me was while holding a f/t mouse lol. What do you think? Also from what I've seen so far, nice forum!

I'm not sure about Corn Snakes and BPs, but I don't even open my Kingsnake's cage after handling another snake, unless I've thoroughly washed my hands. I did that once. He got so excited at the scent of the other snake on my skin that he didn't bite me... he bit his own tail. I would never handle them together. However, Kingsnakes are snake-eaters, and I don't think either BP's or Corns are.

Probably not going to kill them for a quick photo but forced interaction over a period of time is probably a bad idea.

I don't even like to handle two of the same species at a time if I can help it.
