I also would not recommend it. Yes it can be done but it takes experience to do well. There are very few whom have that experience. It isn't less work but more they ideally have multiple hot spots and dual gradients ect. Add the issues of correct quarantine and such it makes it a very long term operation just adding a second snake is irresponsible it means dual set ups for a full quarantine period anyway so there is no savings there as it means 3 enclosures for 2 snakes need to be set up. It can be done but should be left to the very advanced keepers.
