Can two adult ball pythons live in a 40 gal. breeder terrarium comfortably or is this too small. That's all I needed to know, thanks. Petco has some that look pretty nice might build them into a shelf system of sorts.

I would shy away from housing two Bps together, unless it's during mating season and you want to try breeding.
When two snakes are housed together, it's very hard or impossible to tell which one defecated/urated. So if the feces are unhealthy lookin', you won't know which snake is sick, so both snakes would have to be treated. Also, it'd be pretty stressful if both snakes wanted to be in the same hidespot at the same time.
I think that the absolute minimum size tank for one adult Bp should be at least a 55-g long.
