    Not unless you want one possibly dead snake from eatting the other one.

    Not to mention the possibility of pregnancy. You know if they don't eat each other right away.

    Snakes are solitary creatures except for breeding, I can never understand why people who take on the responsibility of a snake want to force company on it for the sake of saving space *shrugs*

    I split this off from an older thread.

    Like Corny mentioned, kings are known for cannabalism and i would not suggest you house them together permanently.

    Well for mating they really only need to be together for like one day a couple of times.
