Can you, yes, should you (in my opinion), no.

Co-habiting has no known benefits to the snake but does have risks.

I don't think it's advisable- since CRBs need lower humidity than BRBs for a start.

Plus there's still a chance they would breed and then you'd have cross babies that might be hard to sell.

Also snakes are solitary animals in general, it'd be best to keep them separate. Its the same for any kind of snake really, I usually keep them apart unless its that short time period for breeding.

I'm not a fan of mixing speicies, most of the time the snakes dont like it and the can stop feeding.

i'm not against co-habiting but wouldn't ever dream of mixing species with different husbandry requirements...

Dumerils boas, BCO hybrids, Sinder hypo boas, ratsnakes, cornsnakes, Day geckos
