Here at the museum we keep 2 adult male E. obsoleta on exhibit with each other. We have never had a problem. Careful watching during feeding is highly recommended but otherwise no problems housing rat snakes together. I've housed corns and black rats together on exhibit before and again, without problems. The only thing I observe with two males its every so often they'll do 'mating' rubs on each other, but besides that nothing detrimental to their health occurs while being kept together.
