I wouldnt.

- Parasites and illnesses can be passed on
- Unexpected breeding
- They may put each other off their food
- Only one will get the prime basking spot at any 1 time

People do it with no bad results but I dont personaly. Its your decsion, just make sure you looks at the pro's and con's first

I can understand a pair of snakes looking great together,but for the price of a extra viv/rub why take the risk of causing problems for your snakes.

I agree with both Lee and Matty and would not house two together..

Varies from snake to snake unfortunately. 'Usually' they are bigger on a male.
