Can I have my BP and BI Boa interact with each other while handling?

So I know your not supposed to house them together but I can’t find anything about them being together outside of there gages and see multiple videos/pictures of snakes together?

They can interact but only after your new boa has cleared 90 day quarantine.

I would personally not go there...but if you do, say for some brief photos, stay right there & be ready to intervene if needed. Remember snakes are PREDATORS
and even those not known for doing so sometimes kill & try to eat their MATES instead of breeding. So a snake of another kind is asking for trouble, IMO...

And in case you've never thought of it, snakes have an extremely good sense of smell, so before putting any snakes together for any reason, rinse their faces off with water to remove any lingering scent of rodents from a previous meal. If any scent remains, it can cause confusion, injury & death of one or both snakes, since they rely not on vision but on scent.

FYI, I had a large well-fed amel. black rat snake kill & try to consume his equally large & mature female mate some years ago, instead of mating...no kidding!
(and there was no "scent of rodent" to confuse him either)
