Its a bad idea.

There is stress involved, possibly sharing diseases, and the inability for you to monitor their health. How will you know who regurgitated due to the stress if they're in the same cage??

Also, its well documented that snakes have no problems eating each other. Its just a bad idea all around.

If you're short on space and don't think the little guy needs 50 gallons, get something smaller for him, or swap cages even, but make sure to disinfect both cages well.
