New to snakes :)

Could someone point me to an authoritative source or proven research that supports this view that two BP's cannot successfully inhabit the same tank.

Thanks.

I don't think there are any empirical studies regarding keeping 2 ball pythons in the same enclosed environment. We recommend against doing so given the inherent problems involved: Health concerns (one gets sick, they both get sick); dominance issues over hides and spaces within the environment; male fighting; unintended breeding; etc etc
