A peek in their tubs/hides couldn't hurt. Occasionally you'll get an animal that can't quite figure out where the head is and will give up. You'll want to know if that happened so you can try again. Give them a quick peek and if they both have little bumps in their bellies, let them be. =)
I usually wont put their hides back down after they've struck and coiled. I'll usually wait until after and add the hide back in. I can't see any harm in it, but in a skittish snake, it could make them release the rodent. But that would be rare.
