It's just a bad idea. You're putting them in a situation where they have to compete for everything...favorite hide, favorite cool spot, favorite warm spot, etc. Even in a big cage, they will feel pressure from the other BP.
Some people do keep mutipule BP's in the same cage, and some will no doubt chime in on the subject, but it's not a standard practice, and should be avoided.
Please don't tell me your feeding them both in the same enclosure?

Actually, it's far to big. Look at the environment you've set up there. You have one hide, and not a good one at that, and the rest of it is wide open. Until you start to take the good advice I know you've been getting here on BP.net, at least toss a couple of empty cereal boxes in there or something so they can find a spot to hide.
Reapeat after me...BP's are not display snakes, and a hiding BP is a happy BP.

i have changed up the cages several times in the last few days right now im making it where it looks good. hides, big logs, branches, and different levels with hides, i have one heat lamp for day and just a low watt infrared bulb for night
right now im changing it up and adding a new bedding and adding plants and vines so there will be plenty of places to bask in and plenty of places to hide ill put a pic of the cage when i'm done

Re: bedding
What are you using to measure the temps and humidity inside the cage? Humidity is likely going to be difficult in a cage that tall

Zombie, I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm picking on your set up, but I get the impression that you are setting your environment to suit you, not your BP's.
