do snakes need to be seperated and then placed together in season to breed or can they live together permanetly and still breed

Some will,, some won't. Depends on the species. Comunal snakes will sometimes breed when they are kept together (my corns do)

how about spotted pythons any chance you know?

you will generally get better success if they are separated. But they mite still breed if you keep them together...just burmate them...after the cooling period it should trigger a breeding response. You will just have to see what happens... if they have not bred, separate them for a while then reintoduce. Sometimes it is not species dependant, just individuals preference.

I house my pair of Ball Pythons together (for years) on a permanent basis and there has never been any sign of breeding behavior.
Sort of like the old adage "absence makes the heart grow fonder".
