Yes, some people do keep them together. However, mangroves are well known to feed on other snakes in the wild, and will do so in captivity. You may have them housed togehter for a week, month or year without incident when all of a sudden one of them will decide the other looks like a good meal. With the cost and time associated with caring for them, I think that it's just not worth the risk. One idea you might want to try, is have a cage made that is big enough to house both, but with a removable center divider to keep them seperate. That way, if and when you wish to breed them, you can just remove the divider temporarily. Since they are arboreal, you will want something they can climb in. I couldn't find any pre-made enclosures that would suit a large arboreal snake so I had one custom made. Check out monster cages. That's where I got mine. Just tell them the custom dimensions of how you want it and they will construct and ship it to you. Their prices are very reasonable as well. It took them about 3 weeks for it to arrive at my door after I placed my order. All depends how busy they are though. Hope that helps.
