Answer 1

Snakes are solitary creatures, and only come together for mating. They might end up killing each other, so you'd have to get a separate cage.

Answer 2

what kind of python is it??  if its a ball python it sould be ok to house two together as long as they are about the same size...i've kept two ball pythons together for about 2 years now...they have been fine with it, however, they will eventually need a bigger tank...within about a year they will need a bigger tank.

Answer 3

Don't keep them together. Bad idea. One will eventually kill and eat the other.

Answer 4

I have had two balls at once in my forty gallon tank.  They thrived very well.  As with all snakes i recommend that they be close in size.  You could have problems if one is extremely small.  If they are fed regularly, they will get along fine.  A warning though...If you feed live food separate them when feeding.  Because they roll up into a tight ball when they grab their food they could potentially hurt or kill each other if they get entwined while constricting their food.  I have seen it happen.
