Nervous

Hi Guys
Just put my four year old Children's Pythons together for the first time seem to be fine just wanting some advice should I be standing there just in case they fight or leave them alone to do what I want them to do ????
don't want to walk in there in an hour and one or both are hurt or worse !!!
how do you all approach this nervous occasion
thanks Guys

Hey mate,

You're about 6 months too late...keep them seperated for now, pump a fair bit of food into the girl, cycle them over winter and stick them back together in July/August (some people go earlier, some people later) and you should have some success.
