It will be best for your snakes if you separate them. You may have not had a problem in the past, but that doesn't mean that you will never have one.

No its a 20 gallon, you don't need any larger for an adult. Besides, the majority of a 40 gallon tank's extra space over the 20 is in height which BPs do not need. It isn't very much longer or deeper at all. I put them side by side at the local chain store to see for myself before I decided on the 20L. For that setup I posted I spent about $180-$200 total for EVERYTHING but that is how you do it right for a 20L tank. If you have 2 it'd be much cheaper to just build a tub rack. I would never house them together as it can stress them out, make them compete for the "best" spot in the tank and EVERY experienced keeper I've ever talked to advises against it.

well you can also use a bedding call coconut fiber and when you spray it it keeps most of the water leaving you with more humidity

Let's just put it this way: your snakes will be happier when they're housed apart.
