Humid Hideout

My High Yellow Female Leopard Gecko is no longer wanting to share the regular hide with our Albino Female. There has always been plenty of room for both of them (8x9 area). It's a natural set-up with different heat gradients ranging from the mid 70s to high 80s and 91 on occasion.
I haven't seen the two girls fight or hear any altercations between the two but I'm beginning to suspect the Albino has driven the High Yellow out, which makes no sense to me because they both seem like happy little girls.
They eat well enough (gut loaded meal worms). Everything else seems fine.
Is it normal for a gecko to spend two days in a humid hide? Temps are any where from low 70s to the low 80s depending on whether the infared light is on.

The one female could be bullying the other, do you have more then one hide for the other female to use?. If the one stops eating then I would reccomend seperating them. The leo may be in the humid hide because its about to shed or if its the one that was pushed out of the other hide, it may be hiding in their instead.

Thank you Jason.
I will monitor their behavior closely and see what happens.
Yeah, I thought the Albino may have been bullying the other female. I don't see any bite marks or agressive behavior.
Right now they are both resting comfortably in the hot hide.
There is plenty of room for both of them, but I will be moving them into a 30 gal. tank this weekend.
