this bull snake can kick ass on the smaller milk snake can it not? It's twice as thick and can surely fight back. (when i was holding them both in the same hand the milk snake started chewing on my knuckle and then switched to chewing on the back of my pituophis) the larger snake noticed this and went into defensive mode. I proceded to seperate the snakes and placed them both back in the same tank.

For way too many reasons...THEY DON'T BELONG IN THE SAME TANK. It does not matter who can kick ass...You are running a serious risk of doing harm to one or both... Buy a 2d tank.
