And also would they be fine together??

Personally, I would not try putting two different animals in the same cage, one of them will likely end up dead from it.

Many of us (including myself) have tried this before and had tragic results.

Definitely don't try keeping two different species in the same tank. Even multiples of the same species usually doesn't end well, unless it's a breeding pair together for the breeding season.

If I'm not mistaken blind snake will eat small insects and ant larvae.
