    There are WAY too many cons to outweigh the pros.

    Cons:

    -Which one got sick?
    -Stress for no reason
    -Accidental breeding
    -Cannibalism

    Pros:
    -Only one enclosure

    Beat me to it. I don't know of any real reason to house most species of snakes together. The only reasons I can think of are at the benefit of the owner, NOT the animal. OP, I'm just wondering, what are your reasons for housing together, other than just being told it's "ok"?

    Also, keep in mind that just because you haven't had an issue yet doesn't mean it's safe. I've personally seen snakes that were bitten by their cagemates in a mistaken feeding response. I don't know about racks, I don't intend on ever using them, but I also know of snakes that have both gotten sick while being caged together.

    They are very pretty snakes though, and I do like your picture. I hope for their benefit you get them into their own cages. No one is trying to be mean, they just want the best for your snakes
