Do you normally keep your snakes together?

At that size, yes.

And why is that

Why not? I have been told that this is ok. They eat well, they thermoregulate, they act just like the snakes that are by themselves. Eventually they will be separate.

Do they not compete for the best hide/hotspot? Do you feed them together in there? Or move them to feed? Which can be stressful for them. Are they both the same sex? Or are you prepared for a clutch if they lock up? While it can be done, it is not typically recommended to house balls together...

Its stressful on the snakes. Also if one gets sick it would be hard to tell from poo and urate because you will not know which snake it comes from. Almost all snakes are solitary animals and dont enjoy company

Stool gets tested, and how would I tell if they are stressed? They eat, they have normal stool, etc.

Roaming is typically a sign of stress. So them up roaming rather than hiding would indicate stress. Hiding balls=happy balls.

Also, how would you know who's stool is which if you ever had a problem? You wouldn't.

I had just changed their bedding and hides around. I change bedding monthly, and my other snakes who are kept by themselves roam as well when their bedding is changed out.
