in general its not a good idea to house two snakes in one cage, because if one regurges you wont know which one, and if one gets sick they can both get sick.
if i were you i would still take them in, just set up a rubbermaid for one of them

Awsome, thanks for the advice. I can easily pick up a rubbermaid for that purpose. Or I have a few long cages I can just flip on their side to use. I keep a constant supply of cages on hand in case any rescues in the area need foster homes. Thanks again.

I personally am not against keeping two snakes in the same cage.
If you feed in the cage which is really the best for ATB's in my opinion it can be quite a pain should they each go for the same rodent.
I would only keep them together for breeding because of the feeding issue, the rubbermaid sounds like a good idea.
