Seems to me if they eat in a 'separate space' and THEN you put them into separate cages instead of the same cage, they'll have 'eaten'....

I don't think a snake can predict that you'll put them back 'together' after they eat.

I don't think they can Look out of the cage and see another cage being set up next to them and think
"Oh, look, we are going to be separated, let's go on a hunger strike and not eat when we are separated to eat".

Regardless of your belief in snake premonition, That cage is too small for two snakes. They need to have enough room to establish their own small territories. They'll need multiple hides on each end, so each can have their 'own space'.. In fact, I would recommend a much larger tank, with a warm 'side at each end, and a cool zone in the middle, So the snakes can go to either end of the cage when they want to be alone. maybe a minimum size of 5-6 feet long, and a minimum of 2 feet deep/wide.

That's the plan to upgrade their tank to a much larger size as I know this is much to small for them.

Honestly, 2 cages is easier to deal with, and if one snake gets sick, you'll be able to tell which one had the bad poop, or regurge, or if you need a stool sample for the vet to check.

I'll look into getting a 2nd tank/habitat/viv for one of them.
