(NO)...for many reasons, to list a few:
1) One specimen may have been exposed to/be carrying a disease
and transmit it to another...
2) Newly-hatched babies are easy to disturb/alarm and even at-
tempting to feed one may "throw off" the other...
3) When examining the feces and it appears abnormal you can't be
sure from which it came (Yes you have to be a bit of a
scatologist in the snake biz!!)...
4) There may be a fight over a food item, with resulting
injuries...
...the list goes on...
Individual cages are the way to go!

I agree. Even though it would be easier for you, you can't put human feelings on a snake and think it's "lonely". Snakes are great for giving us humans unconditional indifference!
Better for them if they stay separate.
Good Luck!
