I would just recommend on the carpet in the middle of a room, they don't move fast and its very unlikely you'll get any trouble.

The only thing I'd recommend is keeping them apart for 3 months before introduction as a quarantine measure in case one is carrying an illness.

ideally 6 months, some infections/diseases have a longer incubation period, such as IBD. however if you're not using any barrier hygiene methods such as keeping them in seperate rooms, strict handwashing and change of top layer of clothes between handling each snake anything that could be passed on probably has been already.
but don't panic it's only a precaution
