    I would have to suggest seperating all three of them as soon as you can. Due to stress and other health factors. Also there not really social animals. They like to be alone until breeding time that is. :2cent:

    If I read your question correctly(I read it several times)...
    No, raising the humidity will not force the 2nd snake to shed faster.
    My advice would be to keep the humidity at proper levels, with perhaps a humid hide for extra help for shedding. I'd also advise seperating the two females into their own cages. You'd be surprised how much faster they grow, and how much better they do(speaking from experiance, I had several baby females at once too).

    One snake - one enclosure.
    It doesn't matter that both are female. Pythons are solitary animals. They do better without competition, and will have much less stress. Especially since they are babies, you want as little stress as possible, and especially since they are females, since you want them to grow big.

    raising the humidity for one to shed, then lowering it to normal, then raising it again when the other goes into shed, then lowering it again to normal could cause some problems with them. they might start going off feed because of all the changes.
