is it okay? yes. is it advisable? no. for one, some species of snakes play the "dominace" role, meaning that the older or bigger of the two will end up getting all the food and the smaller or younger will end up with next to nothing. also, if one ends up with a health problem then the other will get it as well. you want to be able to tell which one shed, used the bathroom, refused a meal, regurged, etc which is next to impossible to do when keeping multiple snakes in an enclosure. as far as eating other snakes, so far ive only ever heard of one type of boa being cannibalistic, and that is the Dumeril's.
