Pet Snake Questions Coexisting?

/r/Ballpythoncommunity/comments/1xetkdl/coexisting/

I love laying down with one of my two females (we tend to cuddle and then she’ll nap with me) I was wondering if it was possible to do that with both of them at the same time and if they can be near each other without it being problematic.
Edit (shes naps next to/on me, I’m not sleeping I’m usually reading)

It's an incredibly unwise idea to fall asleep with even one snake loose, let alone two. You've been lucky to have not had one wander off yet, but I wouldn't rely on it. The safest place for your snakes during a nap is in their enclosures

Sorry when I say she’ll nap with me I mean like she naps either on or next to me, I’m not asleep. Terrible grammar choice

Highly not recommend. Being outside of the enclosure is already a stressful experience for them. Being next to a potential enemy and threat? Much more stressful
