    I've only done this with two of my female adult BPs for a photo. I've thought about it with my boas, but all three are very different size-wise and I don't even think I'd be comfortable doing it just for a photo. I would not consider it with different species unless there were say, 2 handlers, one for each snake and each was being held for a size comparison or something.

    Thanks for all the replies everybody!!

    This was all the reinforcement I needed that it was an absolute no way with Django. Even if people were saying they'd done it successfully I probably never would have trusted a King enough to put him around any of my others.
    I guess I was most curious about him.

    I may, may, try to introduce Tyson and Juice someday, both being pythons of similar size. But that's a huge maybe. I'd have to find the right person to be there with me too.

    Thanks again all, and keep the replies coming!!

    From what I've seen and read, it's common for male Kings to bite females on the neck when mating. I watched a video just recently actually. Somebody happened to stumble upon two Kings mating on what appeared to be a hiking trail and took a cell phone video.

    Yes, sometimes they do that. But we all know what snakes do when they're trying to kill & eat...it's a whole different scene & the intent will be obvious.
    (also, it might be the female going after the male as dinner)

    No doubt. I've seen videos of Kings fighting in the past. This was the first mating video I'd seen. Their behaviors were entirely different.

    With a female BP around, I’ve seen videos of putting two males in the same tank to entice them all to mate. The males fight and the breeder takes the male he doesn’t want to breed out. Interesting but not something I would do; feels wrong.

    I've never bred BPs, but now that you mention it, I remember reading that some breeders do this...& I'm with you, no thanks!

    I usually take the short tails out once a year for a group shot, but they don't really move, I set them all facing away from the next and not super close. So 5 snakes out together, but not directly interacting. The faster moving snakes I wouldn't risk it with.
