they are both the same age and size right now and it is to avoid buying a second cage not to breed

well i would say the odds of them fighting is low, but there is a good chance if one gets sick the other will or that if the female is not big enough to breed and they breed anyway that she could have problems and could die

It is never a good idea to co-habitate snakes. Most species do not congregate together in the wild and most likely you will end up with a breeding of a snake that is too young to physically handle it. Ball pythons are notoriously difficult to get eating and any stress can put them off food. If you can't afford a second cage, or at least a large plastic tub to keep the second snake in, you shouldn't have it. If a $25 aquarium is too much, what would happen if while your snakes are living together, one gets a respiratory infection and passes it to the other. Will you be able to afford a vet? Pet responsibility doesn't end with a house and food for them. It includes all aspects of care.
