Ok, here we go.
Truthfully, there are a lot of people out there who do this, but in my opinion it is not a good idea.
Firstly, ball pythons are not social animals, they only get together long enough to breed and are otherwise solitary. Housing two or more together is very likely to severely stress the snakes and cause them to go off feed or possibly induce sickness.
Second, if one snake develops a problem, it's going to be next to impossible to know which snake is sick. If one gets diarrhea, how will you know which one it is?
Third, while cannibalism is rare, it does happen. How would you feel to go to bed with two snakes,
and wake up to one, or worse, one dead one?
Now I know a lot of people will tell you, as long as you have a big cage and hides and blah, blah, blah.....
Listen, if you've got room for one big cage, you have room for two smaller ones, so do the responsible thing and separate.
