There are two problems of what you stated.

For the first one, with any new reptile or snake, they should be quarantined. Meaning, you should keep the new ones in a different room than your current ones. Quarantining is just a precaution, but it really helps. Just in case your new snake has mites or RI it cannot pass that over to the current snake you own.

For the second one, you shouldn't really ever house two same or different species in one enclosure, unless you are planning on breeding. The reason for this is that snakes can be territorial, and try to be dominant over the other, and can cause some serious damage. Snakes can also be cannibals, even Ball pythons, so it's best to keep all snakes (or any reptile/amphibian) separated. There could also be the spread of disease and parasites if housed in an enclosure together.
