Search for 'co-habiting' there are loads of threads on it.

In short - i would say no, i dont think its worth the risk of one snake eating the other.

if you are planning on buying a new viv anyway then dont put them together..
flake wont really appreciate any company - they are solitary animals that only really come into contact with other snakes when they are wanting to breed...

I know it seems strange to us humans but Flake doesnt need and wont want company. In the wild they are solitary snakes, only coming together to mate and then seperating again. It is only in captivity that they are forced to live together with some very bad consequences. Use search and put in co-habiting as Gaz has suggested.

Fluffy gets more than enough company when you handle her!!

Congrats on the new albino. Cant wait to see pics of Sam!
