I'm sorry if something similiar to this has been posted before. I was helpfully directed here by Royall-y Great.

I have a two foot (roughly) ball python. S/he's (unsure of gender) not aggressive, well not anymore, although s/he has tried to bite me on three separate ocassions when s/he was settling in.

I am planning on getting another snake soon, most likely a corn snake. I know not to house them together but is it possible they will show aggression towards one another if they are both removed to be handled (obviously I will not handle them both, but my friend might want to hold one whilst I hold the other). Is it safe to do this or will they strike one another if they get close?
