both of mine are close in size and neither shows domninance through "cuddeling" its whoever gets in the hide first is the one who is usually in the middle, there are numerous hides in the encloser and they always are in the same one. Putting them together wasnt a strategy for better handeling it was just an observation after putting them together after a quarantine. Sometimes you have to try things yourself instead of listening to other people all the time. Don't get me wrong people have awesome advice and I thank everyone who has given it to me in the past. This seems to me like its more of an individual expirenece between different snakes and their owners
