Hey, I own a 2 year old coastal carpet python and am wanting to get another. The 2 year old is very placid, a female and 110cm long and about the width of a 10c coin. Is it okay to put a male coastal carpet python that is 70cm and 5c coin width in the same tank with the other one? The tank is 75cm long x 45cm deep x 50cm high.
Thanks in advance

an intrudutory time period would be recommended, male and females mixed especially with the female be the dominate one of the cage due to her bieng the for so long can lead to bad things, other than that you should be fine. research the mating cycles of the carpet python, that will give you a better idea.

The most pressing question is why do you want to house together? there is no point, it's horrible for the animals and will led to costs vet bills. Just get another tank. Remember, for every foot of snake, have 1 square foot of floor space.
Do a search out there, lots of horrible pictures of snakes eating each other out of stress, hungry and killing each out of of dominance and space issues.

Never house snakes together unless you're breeding. They can eat each other, fight, mate, and can get very stressed and stop feeding. Don't do it.
