2 Snakes living together...

Well, i have done some research online, and everyone seems to say the same thing, so I will ask the forum. Just yesterday I picked up my first 2 snakes. A red tail, and ball python. Anyways, the guy has had them for about 6 months, both amazingly well tamed, in fact did not realize until this morning, but the red tail was shedding yesterday, and both my girlfriend and myself where handling them when we went to check them out (found the snake skin this morning). The guy also said when he would let the snakes crawl around, they would "play" with his wife's cat.

Anyways. They have lived in the same tank, ever since he got them both, roughly 6 months ago. They are about the same length, all though the ball is noticeably bigger round than the red tail. My question is, is it ok for them to live together, and if so, what signs do I need to watch out for to tell if I need to separate them? My main concern is we just moved them to our place, less than 24 hours ago, and they have lived together so long and been perfectly fine with each other, I don't know if moving one out, will stress either of them.
