Are you saying you want to keep all 3 together ? The adults would be fine but the smaller one would be best kept separate.

I wouldn't recommend 3 together unless you had a really big cage, it's not that they would fight but feeding becomes a problem.

No advantage for the animals being kept togther, only possible problems as a result

Because i dont see any advantage for the animal, only negatives.
Why not house them in seperate enclosures? its alot safer

I no quite a few people that have ket pythons together for prolonged periods with no problems. Basic advantage for me is that I have one very large enclosure that would be to big for 1 coastal but is great for 2. If we seperate them they will seek each other out, so they are sociable to some degree. They will often curl up together on a branch or in one of there hides. If done corectly I see no problem with keeping pythons together. I have come across breeders that keep 5 or 6 female together in one enclosure and have had no problems. JMO but each to there own.

Yeah each to their own, but Pythons arent social, they dont desire interaction outside of breeding IMO.
Im sure many many people house more than one python per enclosure without any problems at all.
But if your serious about the health of your animals, i one enclosure per animals, is the only option.
But of course, some people dont even wash their hands between animals......

I am very serious about the health of my animals, and don't believe 1 per housing is the only option. I think paranoia has set in dude. Have come across enough ven's and pythons sharing a hide out of season to disagree about the social factor, and if you see my pythons together there would be no way you could say pythons weren't social to some degree.
