Anything can be housed with anything. What will come of it is the problem. Also people will tell you anything, it may work for some but I would hope most people would recommend against it. I personally don't like it because I feed in enclosures and I like to know when my animals poop/pee which is pretty hard to tell when co-habing unless you see a butt spray in progress. Also just the possibility of stress from my animals being co-habed is reason enough not too.
I had two of my corns lock up and I even paid the pet store to pop them when they were little and they told me they were both males. I put them together to clean a tank and within 30 seconds they were at it. That was my first corn clutch experience! I now know how to pop babies with the help of my wife's little fingers and am still procrastinating with buying a probe set.
You should buy one. You can't pop adult snakes, they have to be probed.

I know how to pop, but I find probing easier. As I said before, popping only works on baby and juvenile snakes. You have to probe to sex adult snakes.

where did you order your probes from Jaleely?
Can you go into more details about how to differentiate between males and females when probed? You mentioned that when you probed your female carpet the probe went in deeper than anticipated, can you talk about that more?
Here a example. On a corn you insert the probe and then mark on the probe how deep it went with your finger and then blace that beside the snake and count the amount of scales. A female probes 2-4 and a male probes 6-8 or 8-10 (one of the 2)

Ok, let me put it this way. It's very hard to on adult cause they have allot of muscle control.

Travis said it takes some work to get good at popping the bigger ones, but once you get it down its just like doing it on a smaller one. Also depends on your definition of adult, and year old female retic can hit 9 feet...
However I have seen videos of people doing just that, not that I would on an adult.
