    Why are they doing this? Looks like they are both ready to shed, maybe?

    Im suspicious about the water droplets too, but it’s a pretty picture.

    I could be entirely wrong and they are doing the snake nasty.

      The droplets are from their owner misting them, they’re an Amazonian species called emerald tree boas and they need high humidity. Their owner likely put them together as a mating pair, yes - but they appear to just be sharing warmth in the photo. They’re not a very handleable species, so their owner likely opened up their enclosure to mist them and took this photo because of the cuddle.

      They’re sharing warmth.
