    The entire time they were trying their hardest to get back to each other and as soon as they did they curled up together
    Enthropomorphism on your part and dominance on theirs.

    I can tell you that experienced keepers/breeders do not keep their animals together, now I can't tell you what to do those are YOUR animals, but I can tell you they are not cuddling they are competing over the same spot.

    Re: Cohabitation

    I’ve kept snakes together many years ago, in my early years of keeping snakes. What everyone else has mentioned is accurate, they compete for space and heat sources. If you commit to doing this, you also have to be exceptionally careful with feeding as not all snakes will go out of feed mode as quickly as others. There is always the risk of finding just one very fat snake in the cage. The only time I would house snakes together now is if I were planning to breed them.
    Other Snakes:
    Hudson 1988 1.0 Colombian rainbow; Yang 2002 1.0 Corn snake; Merlin 2000 1.0 Solomon Island ground boa; Kett 2015 1.0 Diamond Jungle Jaguar carpet python; Dakota 2014 0.0.1 Children’s python

    Ball pythons:
    Eli 1990 1.0 Normal; Buttercup 2015 1.0 Albino; Artemis 2015 0.1 Dragonfly; Orion 2015 1.0 Banana Pinstripe; Button 2018 1.0 Blue Eyed Lucy; Piper 2018 0.1 Piebald; Belle 2018 0.1 Lemonblast; Sabrina 2017 0.1 Mojave; Selene 2017 0.1 Banana Mojave; Loki 2018 1.0 Pastel Mystic Potion; Cuervo 2018 1.0 Banana Piebald; Claude 2017 1.0 Albino Pastel Spider; Penelope 2016 0.1 Lesser

    Re: Cohabitation

    To be fair that “e” word that Deborah used is supposed to begin with an “a” - anthropomorphism, attributing human like qualities to non human things

    Definitely separate, them going right for each other is just them going back to asserting dominance and vying for what their little snakey brains think of as limited resources.
