Not ideal. Co habiting can be done, but both snakes should be of roughly the same size. It would be too easy for the 5ft to eat the 2ft. |

Its not always the best idea to co inhabit, especially with males, they may become territorial, the larger one will try to dominate the younger etc.
Why did you get 'lumbered' with the 5 footer? |

Definitely not - not only is there the risk of the bigger one killng/eating the smaller one, but you don't know if the rehome is healthy - you need to keep it away from your snake just in case. |
