    WELL... How old are both of them? If they are of breeding age you may find them combatting (even with no females present). Also, it is never suggested that one should house multiple snakes in the same enclosure. It all comes down to competition for food and preferable hiding spaces. It's just unneeded stress (which can equal non-feeders) for the snakes.

    Plus, if one poo's a weird green runny color, how would you know which one did it? If one got sick, more than likely both would get sick, equalling in two vet bills instead of one. I know it would probably look prettier or cooler for a display with two beautiful animals, but it just isn't right in the end.

    Fighting would be the least of your worries. There is no good reason to house them together, IMO. 2 cages will=happier and healthier snakes.

    Posting pics?
    don't forget that in the chance that one of them falls ill you will have problems
    a) determining which snake has left a questionable fecal sample
    b) the ill snake spreading the illness to the other

    Snakes are not territorial at all. You might witness two males doing a little contest over a female, but no fighting. Snakes don't need much room, and are rarely in a food shortage. So being territorial would be pointless, and desructive to the species.

    Health problems could arise tho.

    I agree. I cannot imagine that each snake would be able to turn around without bumping the other two. Yikes!
