Yes, when snakes are kept in the same enclosure they are often seen "together" sharing the same corner of the cage, hide box or whatever. I think this is largely due to the fact that any given cage has it's prime locations (optimal temps, security, humidity, etc.). These spaces would be appealing to either of the snakes, whether you put them in the cage independently or together -- NOT because they enjoy each others company. Snakes, for the most part, are solitary creatures. Forcing them to share the best places in the cage will likely amount to one thing; STRESS.
