If I read this correctly you are asking if a pair of ball pythons can live comfortably in a 20 long aquarium? They can but it would be pushing it. You will have to get a larger tank. (40 long minimum) You could build your own, and for a lot cheaper. Go to any hardware store and ask for help. Unlike pet stores, these people are actually knowledgable about the area they work in. You can also find books online. If this doesn't suit you, you can always go look on ebay.

u should i think to learn english more so could understand what say.
If you are asking if a male ball will be OK in a 20-gallon aquarium more so than a female (due to their smaller adult size), you have to consider that this is a generalization. While it is a good rule of thumb, some males get bigger than average while some females get smaller than average. I have a breeding pair right now that are both adults and are nearly the same size. Both are around 46".
What you need to monitor is the size of your snake relative to the enclosure it's in. A snake needs a minimum enclosure that measures roughly 2/3 of its total length. A 20 long measures about 24", and ball pythons generally do not utilize climbing accomodations, so as long as your snake is less than about 36-40" you will be fine, although if you ever do get the opportunity to get a 29 or 40 gallon you probably should. And yes, in general many males will never exceed this length, but should your snake begin to exceed 3 feet by very much (and it could) you would definitely need to get a larger tank.
The best advice I can give you is to monitor your snake and use this "2/3" rule of thumb. And it's always better to err on the side of too big than too small. After that -- and no offense intended -- you may wish to type coherently, because not everyone can translate your fragmented English, and I'm not an expert on everything... :p

Future Commander in Chief...you are a genius.
I've spent the past 3 minutes in an attempt to discern this query. Alas, what they've posed is pure poppycock, sheer balderdash. I do believe you've discovered the actual question. Brilliant!

Depending on the size they should be ok for a bit but i would still try and either make or buy a bigger cage so they can be comfratable i mean its like prison to them they need room to be free

Perhaps you should learn English and then submit your answer again.
Terrible.
