Should be fine just as long as they get along and are around the same size.

You should attach that temp probe to the floor, though, you want to measure belly-heat.

Also, you want to put a moist hide in there for when they shed. This can be a piece of tupperware with a hole cut in it. Just put some paper towels on the inside and mist it daily.

Looks alright. Is that the full size of the tank? I'd have another couple hides if possible...in case they want to get away from each other

How big is that tank? I agree with what everyone else said, move your probe to the floor and add some hides. I like the 3 hide rule (hot, cool, and humid) because they then have an option. If you only have one hide but they need to thermoregulate they will have to do so out in the open, which can stress them out.

Are you planning on moving them to a bigger enclosure or separate enclosures when they are bigger? It just seems a little small for two adults, but I believe in spoiling your animals :)

I would definitely upgrade to a 20 gallon long when they get a bit bigger. That way you'll have enough room for hides and for them to be able to escape each other.

you should definitely upgrade to a 20 long when they get older so they have enough space.
