Is it okay to have females living together when one's gravid?

Should females be separated from each other once they're bred? I currently have two of my girls living together and I'm not sure it's a good idea. One of them is gravid, but the other (although she lived with my male for a month) is not. Does somone want to tell me the pros/cons of this kind of setup?

Should I put a separate "moist hide" in even though I have a lay box?

For me:

Pros of Housing Seperately:
1.) You can keep track of what each one's eating.
2.) You can keep track of exactly which one lays the eggs.
3.) It's an environment with far lower stress for a gravid female.

Pros of Housing Together:
1.) You need one enclosure less.

I'd seperate them, but that's just me.
