they likely wont strike at each other but they will fight for a certain spot like 1 laying on top of the other causing them both stress snakes are not meant to be together unless its breeding season they are solitary animals and prefer to be alone in a small place putting 2 together will add stress to them both. oh and some its not very often but it is known to happen that they eat each other yeah its nasty.........Lets say 1 of them regurgitated or pooped in a way that does not seem healthy how are u gonna find out with 1 of them it was? will u be willing to pay 2 medical bills to see which 1 is sick? its just easier and less expensive to buy another tank and keep them separated.

Not to mention the fact that if one does get sick you WILL have to treat both of them as they will both be sick.
