bp behavior?

I got my 2 females from the same breeder on the same day (they are unrelated) and at the time when we brought them home we only had one big enclosure. They said we could keep them together for a while. My question is how can you tell if they are stressed out by being together, they are always together in the same hide box and dont seem to be fighting. We have 4 hides in there for them, 2 on hot side and 2 on cool side. we do separate them when we feed them tho.

Just concentrate on getting another enclosure, or dividing the one you have, since they don't exactly have much say in the situation.

They may be in the same hide together, but don't assume they are comfortable with it. They probably consider that to be the best hide - so they are competing for it by being stubborn against one another! My advice is to get another enclosure as soon as possible. If this is still going to be a while, make sure you keep a very very close eye on them - putting two bps together can share deseases between them.

Good luck and congratulations on your new BPs :)
