wrong section bud. This is the media lounge. But besides that, NO they should not be kept together. Wrong types of conditions and there is a risk of aggression
sorry, havent made much snake threads before..
what do u mean by wrong type of conditions though? like do they need different substrate or something?

they need different humidity levels and temperatures. If you are going to mix species you need to do TONS of research about the two species in question and select the species for compatibility with one another and customize the cage to satisfy each animals niches. So basically, if you have to ask then the answer is no.
It's never a good idea to house 2 snakes together period if you want healthy snakes. Risk of disease transmission upon arrival, risk of aggression, feeding competition, lack of being able to keep track of who does what, different requirements (humidity, heating), and overall space competition.
They will compete for the best spot in the cage, which may be variable at any time, and that is NEVER a good thing. Even if it looks okay, it probably isn't.
