Its not normally considered good practice to house snakes together. You could end up with a disease or parasite outbreak, and then they are both affected, not just one. Also, after feeding, snakes are on "feed mode" for a while and may injure or consume the other. They may also fight for space. It is also good practice to individually keep track of feeding, shedding, and defecation per snake so that a problem can be identified early and be taken care of properly, which is difficult with two housed together. You were also talking about a few pricey snakes there, if you can afford those you should be able to house them separate. You would certainly want the best possible care to protect your investment.
