This question may show a problem that could solved if hindsight was used but here it is anyway..
Ive just spent my rent on a pair<M/F>of two year old coastal hypos  and now im not sure if they were housed together. Would it be a mistake to house them together on the first nite in a 4ft snake enclosure with mod cons like extra hiding spots? |

| | | | that doesnt matter. whether they are aggressive or not.
housing them together will only spell out disaster one day.

Actually the opposite, they are extra careful when curling up together and if they do smell food and see movement, (the other snake moving) they don't strike they investigate, have a smell, recognise each others scent and loose interest in the movement.
Thats just my situation, both are 7 foot plus. I believe smaller/younger snakes are little more nervous and willing to strike so maybe you shouldn't keep them together, at least not on the first night.
