Very strange questions for someone who knows "lots about reptiles" and has "tons of snakes". I would think that you would know better than to keep two snakes together in the same enclose, as doing so creates an environment in which one will seek dominance over the other which subsequently results in unnecessary stress for both of the animals concerned. You shouldn't assume that they "get along great", the "always wound up together" behavior that you make mention of is indicative of the assertion of dominance of one of the snakes over the other. As far as the comment "very aggressive" goes, these snakes are no more aggressive than most species. They may tend to be a bit nippy as juveniles, but that usually passes as the snake gets older. Gaining the snake's trust through a regime of regular, and gentle, handling with also help. Temp and humidity requirements are not necessarily the same as for GTPs. You can find information specific to the husbandry of carpets (hint: you were not very specific as to which species you posses) on any number of websites. Anthony Caponetto’s site is a good place to start: http://www.acreptiles.com/
