While ball pythons mainly eat rodents, I'm not certain a hungry ball wouldn't eat (or attempt to eat) a smaller snake, not to mention different heating and humidity needs. All and all, each species should be kept in cage set up for its own specific needs.
Though i agree with the Ball python will see the corn sometimes, they wouldn't be competing for the same hides due to the numerous amounts of them. I did factor in both their requirements and both species prefer the same ambient temperature, humidity, and heating pad temperature (Both species can live just fine with 60% humidity, high 80's heating pad, and constant 80 degree ambient temperature. You make a point with the hungry ball python but they are so picky that i have doubt on them striking a milk because i don't feed him snake scented rats. Plus the milk it seems to primarily live on the 2nd floor which i doubt the BP would climb up to. Though i wasn't really planning on doing this but i couldn't find a counter argument on why it couldn't be done. If that makes sense.
