I raised up my pair of brazilians together for their first two years, only seperated them to keep them from breeding too early. I bought them as a pair and introduced them at the same time. There is nothing wrong with it, but I think it is easier to keep track of feeding and other husbandy aspects if they are housed seperatly. Either way, I beleive you should never feed snakes that are housed together in their enclosure, as they may try to eat the same prey item, (I had a pair of baby corns do this when I first got into reptiles, and one almost ate the other) so I always feed them in seperate containers.

As far as size, I kept them in a 18x18x24 exo-terra when they were babies, then moved them to a 20 gal long and eventually to a custom 4*3*2 glass enclosure before moving them to indivdual 4x2x2 wood enclosures because the glass tanks don't hold humidity worth a darn and are harder to keep the temps consistant.

Hope that helps.
