I agree with Doug on this one. I'll also add that the larger snake is likely to dominate the smaller one, and keep it stressed. It may not let the smaller one eat, and if the smaller tries to eat, the larger may take the food right out of its mouth - or worse, start swallowing it from the other end = incedental cannibalism.
The only way I would even consider keeping two beauties together, is if I had a really huge cage - like zoo display size, where each could get away completely from the other. And - I would only keep two same sized snakes together. The sex of the cage-mates would be a factor as well. I could see keeping two females together, but that is about it.
