Housing multiple BPs together
New here but not new to the hobby. I had a malfunction with one of my herpstat 1s and need to transfer over at least one BP to another BPs tub. Both BPs are babies both born in june and both around 140 grams.
Would it be ok for me to house them together from today till Sunday (4days) until I can get a new herpstat? What are the chances that they will get stressed out being this young? I mean I really don't have a choice. Wouldn't you think they would be ok since they are so young and just got separated from there clutch mates not to long ago?

they'll be fine for a few days.

babies from june....
if any BPs can tolerate being kept together in an enclosure not specially designed for communal keeping, its hatchlings.
put in a bunch of hides so that they can hang out in different hides and dont have a reason to fight over the best resting place. 4 days is a bit on the longer end, but it should be fine.

Yea it'll be fine, a few days wouldn't cause an issue, or not that I've experienced because I've had to do it before.

What are your ambient temps? It won't hurt the one BP to go without a hot spot for a few days, as long as ambient is near 80deg and you don't feed it in the interim. I'd leave mine without a hot spot before I'd potentially stress both animals with cohabitation.
