you should really think about seperating them.
you are most likely stressing them out keeping them together, even if they do look fine.
i will never keep 2 snakes together unless they are breeding or they are newborn young.

I agree with HetForHuman.....unless you have a huge enclosure...like something about half the size of your room ( or about 12'x6'x5') just for size so they can basicly stay out of each others way.), and about just as tall....so if one wants to go up while the other one is on the floor they can...just my opinion though.

I'm gonna have to make it a trifecta! I would not keep two BP's in the same enclosure, to add to the already posted reasons;
1. If one BP gets sick, you are assuring yourself two sick snakes as opposed to one.
2. Assuming that you have 1.1, the female will most definitely be dominant over the male, which could cause feeding problems.

I gree mykee. Thats why I said such a large enclosure.....I was being sarcastic....I wouldn't house 2 bp's in the same enclosure unless the enclosure was seriously about the average size of a mobile home/house/barn. And I am serious......so house them seperatly....

In addition to what mykee said...
1) You cannot monitor each snake individually... how will you know which one pooped or if there was a regurge, who it came from?
2) They are too young to breed still. The male may try to breed her too early which can lead to serious problems, possibly even fatal for the female.
3) You can't feed them in the same cage, you need to seperate them each time.

But to comment about your question on the size of enclosure. They grow up real fast so plan on having something that will be suitable for a full grown snake. (that will save you the trouble of building 2 different ones) I house mine in a 40 gal breeder tank but i'm starting to think it might be too small eventually.  Does anyone know if i will need a bigger one?

I've given both of my bigger BP's large enclosures with over 7 square feet of floor space and I can say that it's pretty much all wasted! I have yet to see them explore much, they just go from one hide spot to another.
33gal is fine IMO for a ball.
