I'd start with researching Philodryas baroni, the species you pictured.. I did a quick google search and snagged you a couple links to get started. Note, I haven't read these, just picked a couple that looked like they'd interest me if I happened to find myself keeping these critters with no former experience.

Is that true?
I had some problems with blood coagulation years ago so im a tiny bit concerned.
I don't get them out of the enclosure jet and they are a handfull when feeding so I have to be there until they finish swallowing food at the same time cause they might hurt eachother otherwise. One time the one finished first and rolled around the other one which was still eating, suffocating her.. I immediately sprayed her with water and she let go. Damn! So greedy.
Guy who sold it to us said they can be together as a pair, Femaile and male.
I want to separate them while feeding to avoid possible injury to them and by doing so Need to know what a bite can cause.
Im not alergic to anything if that helps and not afraid of bites in general.
They are two curious cuties and I wish to know more.
Thanks!
