Housing them together is something that ultimately will be up to you. You need to research all the risks involved and then decide if it's worth it to you to take the risk. The species you wish to house together is important. Such as if you was to keep two Getula Sp.(kingsnakes) Together you can pretty much bank on it that eventually one will end up consuming the other. Boa's on the other hand are much less likely to attempt feeding on one another especially if close to the same size and fed well. You also must seperate them when you feed them or they may both start feeding at opposite ends of the same rodent and not stop till they reach the end of the others tail. Another risk is that if one ends up sick for some reason the other most likely will be as well. Another problem is monitoring fecal movements, you won't know who's is who's or even if one is at all.



As for if they will just viciously attack one another and wanna kill one another. Very, very unlikely.
