I would not do it if I were you. They get really stressed out, and sometimes dont eat, etc. Even if it dont, it is still not the smartest thing to do. In nature they are solitary animals, they are only around each other to breed, and I think it should be that way in captivity too.

This from the person who was feeding a bp every other day? It depends on the snakes...'nuff said.

The smallest I would want to go is a 50 breeder tank. A 30 is about barely big enough for one adult. And housing them together is a good way to create stress and get them to not eat etc. I wouldn't do it. Mine were housed together for breeding only and then each is back in their own 50s. otherwise they wouldn't eat.
