Not really. There is always a chance that one could eat the other. Also, you could accidentally breed them, creating mutts. I believe the most practical answer, though, is that it is harder to keep track of shedding and medical issues if you have multiple animals in one enclosure. How do you know who regurgitated? Who has the weird looking feces? Who is constipated and hasn't pooped in a month? Etc, etc...
