yeah, I was going to say the same thing as the post above. Also, as Justin said, it's generally not a good idea to house snakes in the same enclosure except specifically when you are trying to breed them. If you do have male and female then just keeping them in the same tank usually won't lead to breeding, they require environmental cues usually to stimulate breeding behavior. Usually this involves reducing temperatures and halting feeding to simulate winter for up to several months depending on the species and then restoring the normal temp and then feeding them a lot for a few weeks THEN putting them together to breed. You would want to find breeding information on the specific species you have in mind because the details can be very different depending on what species you want to get to breed.
