I housed my male and female together year round. The habitat needs to be large enough for multiple basking, hiding places, etc.. I actually saw my male guarding eggs when the female would explore the cage and then return. I personnaly would only house a mated pair.

you could also house 2 females together but it could be risky.you have to keep an eye on any aggersion toward each other. and feed them in sperate containers away from one another.

i reckon you should really keep them in sperate enclosures so then you know which python did what and you can modator there heath better. if not kept sperate if one comes down with a diease or something that is catchable your other snake that is housed with it can catch it. or if you feed them both in the enclosure they could go after the same meal. and it could be possible that the snakes would fight and course damage to one another.
