When you see one snake laying on the other it's not 'cuddling', but instead its one on top being dominant and the other becoming stressed out.

One gets sick, the other gets sick.

There's always the possibility of cannibalism.

If they are two males, they could fight.

If they are male and female, and they breed too early, the female could be killed because she is underweight.

Ball pythons are solitary animals. They don't live together in the wild and are stressed when around each other. You don't want your animals to be stressed.

Here's a solution. Since the 30 gallon is much too large for baby ball pythons in the first place, divide it with a piece of plexiglass or a piece of thin plastic that is cut down to size. You can probably get either pretty easily at any department/ home works store.
