just wondering i need to save some space for my savannah monitor.

You probably could, i have seen adult female diamond kept with a spotted before. But in all honesty i wouldnt.Why take unnessary risks? I dont keep any pythons together unless breeding. Im not sure how US keepers kept their spotteds, but down here we keep them a couple degree celcius higher than jungles. Also isnt the jungle you are talking about a hatchling? If so it only needs a little plastic cage, like a shoebox sized one. Not sure how old the spotted is but they are kept in even smaller enclosures, even adults are housed in cages that measure 2 ft by 1 ft and thats being generous.Im not telling you what to do, there is no way i would do it. Each to their own i guess.

thanks man my spotted is about two feet long i was thinking when they both got about adult size to put them in one cage but if you guy say not to put them in the same cage then i won't.

Yeah, i think you made the right choice. Keeping two snakes in the same cage just has too many risks. Although occuring only rarely, pythons have eaten other pythons. Also i find it more of a hastle to have to seperate when feeding, if you have seperate cages you just throw in the rat or mouse(dead) and walk away.
