Keeping any snakes together is not a good idea. While most can cohabitate alright, it's better to have two enclosures.

When housing two together one could get sick, and automatically you now have TWO sick snakes because they are housed together, if one regurgatates food, you won't know who...etc etc.

And snakes are mostly solitary creatures who do not live together in the wild. And if they did, a tank in a house is definitly not enough "alone" space no matter how big it is.

Don't buy another until you have another enclosure set up.

I agree with Marisa...

While there are many, many reasons not to house two snakes together (even two females), there isn't a single good argument for keeping them together...

Yep and for 10$ you don't have to worry about all those things by buying a rubbermaid.

Happy snake keeping
