Housing two girls
Looking at housing my two girls together while I clean. About the same size. I don't see a problem with this. Never done this so don't know what to look for if they start fighting, if they do. And how to get them separated?
Looking for input.

If they are both girls. You should not have any issues with them fighting or anything like that. However I would keep it brief as bp's are solitary reptiles. If they are kept together it tends to stress them out. If at all possible clean one enclosure at a time, and put the snake in a box or pillow case while you clean it's cage. Then you will avoid potential issues that may cause a problem.

You can always put them each in their own pillowcase an tie em off and set them in the same tub or something. I wouldn't personally put them together, just because of the "what if" factor

Whenever I clean I just place each bp into a pillow case, tie them off, and then set them in little boxes so they don't mosey off. There's no real reason to place them physically together in the same container when so many other options are available. Personally I just don't like running the risk of stress out of convenience for myself.

I have a small tub with a lid dedicated as a holding tub for use while cleaning. Might work better for you and would avoid any potential stress.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

Why would you need to place them together to clean? You don't have pillow cases or cardboard boxes that you can put them in separately? I just can't think of a logical explanation as to why you would need to let them interact for any period of time.
To answer your question though, since cleaning should only take about 10-15 minutes tops for two snake enclosures you shouldn't have an issue occur in putting them together. It is always recommended to keep solitary animals solitary except for breeding purposes however.

Why not just clean each enclosure one at a time? If you only have two snakes, it shouldn't take that long. it's what I do, and it hardly take 5 minutes between the two of them (not including all the time wasted just handling and playing with the snakes whenever I get them out haha).

I would usually clean while they eat. But I got lazy and cleaning them for a couple months. I would usually clean while they eat. But I got lazy and cleaning them for a couple months so I figured I would ask what others thoughts were. I probably just use the totes I already have. Thanks for you guys input.
