Personally I've never cohabited and never will,but thats my choice. I just think it would make everything more difficult. Who's poo'd,what if theres a regurge and you don't know which ones done it or one becomes ill and passes it on to the other. I just wouldn't be happy doing it,I'm a stresshead though.
Like I say though,its a personal thing and if you feel happy with it and have the means to seperate them then thats up to you. They are beautiful snakes

On the topic of all species of animal having dominant individuals though,you really can't apply that to snake keeping. If you have two dogs for example and ones dominant to the other thats normal as they are a pack animal and therefore have dominant and subordinate individuals. They need this structure for the pack to work successfully.
Snakes however are not pack or herd animals,they do not cohabit in the wild so the dominance aspect is a completely different ball game for them. They come together in the wild because they need to for breeding etc and are then happiest going their seperate ways.
