There are ways to educate and not have two Animals who can potentially attack one another close like that.

We as hobbyists are fighting an uphill battle. When things like this happen, especially when it could have been avoided, by simply following a one snake out a time rule (a good rule for safety for all as well as hygiene), it’s upsetting and can and does hurt the hobby.
I’m all for education and getting people to accept. When done properly.
