I would not do it. Not even if I had a huge enclosure. You run the risk of stressing them out. They will look at each other and worry about who that other strange guy is.

Another thing is that they come from total different parts of the world. I am not sure about temps and humidity, but one from one continent may not be immune to what the other snake might be carrying.

Just to much to risk.
