These look like Florida kingsnakes. I would separate them if you haven’t already. One is already munching on the other in the provided image. And appears if they are male and female, possibly attempting to lock.

I agree. And those two do look just about to do the deed.

These are Florida Kings, a male and female.
By the looks of it they are already locked, if you aren’t intending on breeding them they need to be seperated immediately. They are cannabalistic by nature and may try to eat eachother outside of mating (thats not what is happening in the photo though, males biting females like that is a part of courtship). If they are locked keep an eye on them periodically until seperated, they can stay like this for a few hours.
Since they may be locked you most likely will expect eggs in around 2 months, watch the female closely for complications after her next shed. 1-2 weeks after her next shed should be when she is ready to lay.
Btw the male (lighter one) appears to be a Hypo Whiteside, female is single gene Whiteside.

This is courtship behavior in male FlKs

Not Albino, Albino FlKs would have more pink/lavender and vibrant yellow pigment in their headstamp and vibrant yellow patterning on their back. This male has a dark brown headstamp and lacks the vibrant yellow back patterning/saddles.
Hypos can have somewhat red eyes but I think its just the lighting in your photo thats making them appear red. In the first photo you shared its hard to tell but they eyes actually look darker, try getting an up close photo of him in natural daylight.
Heres an example of one of my previous Hypo FlK/Brooksi hatchlings
