    You can, as long as you don't mix sexes.

    Can't comment on what an acceptable size difference would be. Small enough that the bigger one doesn't just decide that the smaller one is food.

    Keeping the size similar would be best, An overly large cage mate, even if it does not eat your smaller snakie, can cause a lot of stress in the smaller animal.
