Not a good idea. Constrictors are solitary snakes and seek out company only during breeding. At the least disease could be spread and one will dominate/stress the other. At the worst one may eat the other one. Feeding with two snakes in the same cage can be a real problem. I strongly advocate feeding inside the cage and you can't do that with two snakes in the same cage. If you feed out of the cage problems can occur when placing a snake back in while in feeding mode or rodent scent on it. Bill.

I agree with Bill. Keep them separate and cover the sides of the tank and give them a good tight, dark hide. Oh and read, read, read and search the forums on housing and care.

Good luck.
