what would happen if these 2 snakes came in contact?

Just out of curiosity, If a Ball Python, and Irian Jaya Carpet Python came in contact, say, in my back yard, would there be a ruckus? I know most people will say "why risk it" And i really dont have any intention of letting them come in contact, but im just curious how you think these 2 pythons might react to each other.

My guess would be that they would completely ignore each other.

Snakes fight for two reasons:

1. One wants to eat the other. Not the case here.
2. Two males of the same species during mating season. Again, not the case here.

Other than that, and breeding, snakes invariably take no notice of each other whatsoever.
