Sounds like the cage is large enough to house two, but there are concerns:
First, housing two snakes together usually makes the living conditions more unsanitary increasing the chances of them getting sick.
Secondly, two snakes will usually argue over the best hide spots and heated areas leading to a dominate snake and a subordinate snake....leading to stress on both individuals. I would never feed two snakes in the same enclosure, that's a good way to lose one while the other is fat and happy with a snake in it's belly.
Thirdly, there are other reasons so it's just a good idea not to do it unless you are attempting to breed them.
You may do it and have no problems at all, but you open your collection up to the risk envolved if you do it. Hope that helps a little.
