Question
Would it be ok to put a baby burmese python and a baby albino red tailed boa in the same cage?

Answer
I would not.  The burmese will grow much more quickly than the boa, and the risk that something goes wrong isn't worth the $10 it would take you to buy another cage.  Those big plastic bins you can get at WalMart, Target, etc. make excellent cages, just add air holes and you're good to go.  Use either a soldering iron or a 1/8 inch drill bit.
