Can you house more than one together? I wanted to put a couple in an 18x18 tank. Anybody with experience doing this? And if so, 2 males ok? or do they fight?

No all the way around. You never want to house males together of any kind of snakes. Garter are the only snakes that males can be house together. Female SB have been known to eat males when house together outside of breeding season. It just never a good idea to house any snakes together outside of breeding. Garter would be the only exception to the rule.

Not to say its ok but we are housing two small ksb's together for now. They are like 7-8 months old. We have enclosures to separate but they are not ready yet.
