I wouldn't... It's never really a good idea to house snakes together if you can at all avoid it.

And there have been isolated incidences of cannibalism in corns, so you also run that risk as well.

I'm not big on the canniblism thing, and normally I'd tell you to go ahead and put them together for a while if the budget is tight or space is a problem. The snakes you bought are pretty much high end morphs and I'd hate for you to have problems. You really should keep them apart in case problems arise in one of them so theres no confusion which one it is. Just my opinion
