As a general rule, ball pythons are not social creatures. They don't "get along" in the same way a pair of dogs or cats would....they simply tolerate each other, which can be very different.
What are the risks versus the benefits of housing them together?
Risks:
One or both of them go off of food because they don't feel secure with another creature in their home space.
If one gets sick, they could both get sick.
While very slight, there IS a chance one might eat the other, or attempt to.
If you see an issue such as unusual poo or a regurge, how will you know which snake has the problem?
Benefits to you:
Convenience of having just one enclosure to mess with.
Benefits to the snakes:
None
..........that's just off the top of my head. How you choose to weigh them is entirely up to you.
