The key fact you must pay attention to here is: “They are both babies”

They are going to get along until they get a little bigger. Then you are going to run into some issues most likely. The chances of this happening are decreased by you housing them together from babies BUT it will not outweigh the snakes natural instinct to want to be solitary.

IMO I would separate them. Sooner than later.

I have a few breeding pairs! I have Murray darlings, jungles and hypo bredli all living in there pairs! If you animals are eating each other then ur obviously not feeding them right! If one gets sick the other one will too 90% because it would be from poor hygine in the tank! As for them showing no compassion my jungles sleep together all day it’s very cute and my hypo pair my male gets very defense of the female. They are in large tanks and have the room to separate
If they want space. Also my animals are feed out of the tank in separate feeding bays do they don’t associate the tank with food. Just to note that people to obviosly have no high brain copasity and clearly think humans are all mighty and that animals are not capable of emotion! I pity the small minded!

Hi:

I got two ball python living together, they actually lived well and they acclimate very well. One day i commit the error to feed them while both of them were in the same place. Suddenly one of the catch the other half of the mice that the other already have it in her mouth. That was the baddest experience because one grab the mice also the mouth of the other. I was trying to separate them without damage each one. One snake get the food the other did not eat at all until the next day

Reading this article I’m considering to get another terrarium for the other.

Thanks

my two corn snakes get along well, they always share the same hide, if one is taking out the other gets very active as if its looking for the other one and will not calm down until the other one is put back in the tank. I feed them in separate tanks to insure they both will eat. My female after eating is very active and will not calm down until I reunite them, then they both go back into one hide and sleep together with no problem.
