OMG disaster.

Thank you for the courage to share your mistake and the consequences. It IS a learning experience.

I did not realize you are relatively new to the hobby, unless that one poster is mistaken about you.

And you are right, a lot of learning is NOT about book learning and reading. Its hands on practice. That said, if I was you, I would not take these animals to any educational or otherwise "show and tell". And I'm saying this with all the respect.

Those giants are no walk in the park, many times the power of them is not fully realized until something bad happens. It takes years of practice to truly learn to read the body language. It takes a very long time to truly get to know your own animal. And even then, you can NEVER predict what they will do 100%. The risk is simply not worth it. Your animals are all still fairly young. They are going through hormonal changes. If one of them were to cause a bite or worse, bite and wrap, you may find yourself sued for all you have and future wages. For pain, suffering and mental anguish. And don't think it cannot happen.

All in all, you were lucky that your animals "only" engaged each other, as bad as that was. You were lucky there is no permanent damage. You already know it is breeding season, I'm fairly certain a inner voice already told you this wasn't a good idea, no matter what. Even if 4 feet apart. They cross this distance in less then a second.
You already know you shouldn't be handling a snake that is on feeding strike. No matter why the fast is going on. That goes for any species.

I'm not trying to stomp on you. I'm sure you feel bad enough.

If you want to live and learn with your giants, keep them close, don't share them with strangers or at any kind of show and tells.

If you want to do this (and I have quite a bit) you take snakes you have had for a long while. Very established animals. Animals that can not do true harm. Even then, you have to be aware.

Education can quickly turn to the opposite when stuff goes wrong. Let your giants grow. Grow with them. Learn about them by handling and keeping them for a few years. Learn from your mistakes.
Its one thing to have a Ball Python or even a Carpet Python go spazzy. When its a giant, things can get very ugly, very fast.

just my 2 cents
