I have just moved a couple of bits of plastic foliage out of Boris' viv and put it in Sas'. Sas has just periscoped up the wall of his viv and licked practically every leaf!

I would think they could smell each other but only faintly as snakes dont really smell and dont constantly drop dead skin/fur/urine like some animals do so leave very little trace of them ever been there.

They will however know that something wasn't there before and now it is so will explore it thoroughly.

Remember as with washing hands between snakes the equipment should get the same treatment.
